Lightly tap the tabs with your fingers to allow the boat to adjust in response to the tabs
without a dramatic change. Once the bow has been lowered or raised to the point that
the ride has been adjusted for comfort and safety, tapping individual tabs can even
improve the overall effects.
Pushing on the top of the switch (Down) will lower the trim tab and force the bow down,
which is important for running through heavy seas or a stiff chop. In most instances,
both tabs should be lowered for an even bow down ride.
Pushing the bottom of the switch (Up) will raise the tabs and lift the bow out of the
water for better running performance. To achieve the best running performance with
your Pathfinder 2400 Open, use the engine trim in conjunction with your trim tabs to
find the perfect amount of lift and a safe, comfortable ride.
In cases of severe weather or high winds, it is possible to use your trim tabs to lift the
windward side of the boat to avoid spray blowing back onto the passengers. Do this in
conjunction with lowering the bow to improve the overall ride.
Salt Water Wash-Down
Salt-water washdown is standard on the 2400 Open. The pump is located in the bilge
and can be accessed through the hatch forward of the livewell. To operate, hook a hose
to the raw water receptacle.
Flip the switch labeled “Saltwater”. The pump will
pressurize the system with raw water. Once the system is pressurized, the pump will
shut itself off with an internal pressure switch and will switch itself back on as you
demand water. Be careful to only spray gel coated fiberglass surfaces with saltwater and
avoid all other areas. Always rinse your boat with freshwater as soon as you return to the
dock or home if the boat is being trailered.
Under Gunwale Rod Storage
The 2400 Open comes standard with under gunwale rod racks on both the port and
starboard sides. These give you space to safely store an additional 2 short rods and 2
long rods for your fishing needs.
