Main Circuit Breaker
There is a 50A circuit breaker located in the panel beneath the battery select switches. This is
the main breaker protecting the wiring supplying power to the helm switch panel. This breaker may
be manually tripped by moving the arm to the “off” position. If this breaker is tripped, moving the
arm back to the “on” position will reset it.
Seacocks
Ball valve seacocks are installed on the thru hulls for the livewell, washdown, and some head
features. It is necessary for the seacocks to be in the “open” position for operation. The “open”
position is identified by the orientation of the handle. If the handle is in line or parallel to the body of
the valve, the seacock is in the “open” position. If the handle is perpendicular to the body of the
valve, the seacock is in the “closed” position. For seacocks with remote arms installed, the “open”
position can be obtained by pulling up on the remote arm attached to the seacock handles. Pushing
down on the remote arm closes the seacock.
C A U T I O N
All seacocks should be in the “closed” position if not in use or if the boat is unattended to
prevent the taking on of water if a plumbing component fails.
Trim Tabs
Trim tabs are electrically and hydraulically operated. The trim tab system includes a hydraulic
pump, a switch with an integrated indicator, and an auto-retract feature. The switch controls the
pump which lowers and raises the trim tabs. The indicator keeps you constantly aware of the trim
tab’s position. The auto-retract feature automatically raises the tabs every time the ignition switch
is turned off.
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 used to
