of the port switch in small increments until the list is corrected. To avoid over trim, allow a few seconds
between tab adjustments to allow the boat to respond. If you over trim, simply give the over trimmed tab
an adjustment in the opposite direction. Push the top half of both rocker switches in half-second
increments to trim the bow down.
Warning: Trim tabs can cause a dramatic change in the attitude and heading of your
boat. Adjust them in small increments when in open water and clear of any obstructions.
Windlass w/Rope & Chain (Optional)
The windlass anchor system is located on the bow of the 28 Express. It is an electric hands free anchor
system that allows the driver to raise or lower the anchor while staying at the helm. The windlass comes
with 200 feet of ½ inch line and 6 feet of ¼ inch rode.
The windlass is operated by a separate switch and is protected by a 50-amp breaker. The switch is
located at the helm. The breaker is located on the console in close proximity to the switch.
To operate the windlass, press the windlass toggle switch to the down position to release the anchor and
line. After dropping the anchor, be sure to tie the line off at one of the cleats. If you do not tie off at a
cleat, the constant pull against the line could cause the windlass motor to fail. To retrieve the anchor,
press the windlass switch to the up position and carefully raise the anchor up but not allowing it to hit the
boat.
