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 on the starboard side of the aft rigging compartment. The hydraulic
fluid level should be checked on a seasonal basis.
Washdown - Raw Water
To operate the raw water washdown, open the seacock located on starboard side of the aft bilge
using the remote seacock arm labeled washdown. Depress the raw water switch on the helm switch
panel. This system will now be pressurized at the washdown faucet outlet. This faucet may be used
alone or with a hose. A hose with a spray nozzle attached may be used intermittently without turning
the switch off in the same fashion as a home yard hose with a nozzle. The raw water pump has an
internal pressurization switch that will maintain water pressure as needed until the switch is turned
off at the switch panel. The pump is mounted to the transom in the aft starboard rigging area.
