Trim tabs are used to regulate the attitude of the boat while moving. They are operated by a
two-rocker switch panel and will aid in trimming the boat fore and aft for a smoother ride. Trim
tabs can improve the ride of your boat by adjusting where the water is hitting the keel line. In a
slight chop, the waves may be hitting the keel of your boat around the helm area causing an
uncomfortable ride. By adjusting the trim tabs and lowering the bow, the waves will hit the keel at
a more forward point and soften the ride. Experimenting with trim tabs in various sea conditions
will help you determine the best positions for your boat under different load conditions.
Trim tabs are also useful in correcting a port or starboard running list. If the boat is listing to
the port side, press the starboard trim tab switch toward “bow down”. Press the port trim tab
switch toward “bow down” to correct a starboard list. This will tend to lower the bow by pulling
the higher side to a level position. If your bow is already in a low position and your tabs are down,
you may correct a listing condition by pressing the trim tab switch toward “bow up”. This will
cause the low side to rise and level the boat. The running angle will also gradually improve.
Trim tabs in the extreme “bow up” positions will have no effect on the boat's ride. Trim tabs in
the extreme “bow down” position will cause the boat to come on plane with minimum bow rise.
Unless you are operating at low speeds or with considerable cockpit weight you will likely want
to raise the tabs slightly when underway to avoid “plowing” water. With the tabs in the “bow
down” position, you will be able to maintain a plane at the least possible RPMs.
Trim Tab Pump Location
The trim tab pump is located in the starboard console rigging area. The hydraulic fluid level
should be checked on an annual basis or anytime there is evidence of a leak.

A valve located at the helm, under the starboard wing insert, controls your windshield washer.
Water may be sprayed on the windshield, by opening this valve with the Freshwater System
pressurized. To pressurize, locate the freshwater switch on your boat’s accessory switch panel,
and place it in the “on” position.
