Standard Features
Trim Tabs
Trim tabs are standard on the Pathfinder 2400 TRS.
We use integrated 9 X 12-inch Bennett electric trim
tabs which can enhance the boat’s performance.
Because the tabs are electric, there is no hydraulic trim
tab pump, thus eliminating the possibility for fluid
leaks as with other trim tab manufacturers.
Trim tabs allow the boat operator to get the maximum
performance from the boat and are also great for balancing weight in the boat and for
lifting or lowering the hull to accommodate for different running situations.
Your port trim tab switch will affect the port side of the boat, and the starboard switch
will affect the starboard side, although they are operating tabs on the opposite sides. For
instance, lowering the port trim tab creates stern lift on the port side, thus lowering the
starboard bow. Raising the starboard trim tab lowers the stern on the starboard side and
lifts the port bow. Use the tabs to adjust the attitude of the boat so that it sits evenly and
to raise or lower the bow to control running performance.
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 TRS, 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.
