any position other than the neutral position, then the neutral safety switch is not functioning
properly and you should contact your dealer and have the neutral safety switch repaired before
using your boat. If an engine starts in gear during this test, immediately move the shift levers to
the neutral position. Turn the engines off and have the problem corrected by a qualified marine
mechanic before using the boat.
IN SOME SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY START THE EN-
GINES IN GEAR WITH THE THROTTLES ABOVE IDLE IF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY
SWITCH IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO
ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND COULD RESULT
IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS.
ALWAYS TEST THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH PERIODICALLY AND CORRECT
ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE USING THE BOAT.
2.5 Steering System
The steering system is hydraulic and made of two main components: the helm assembly and the
hydraulic cylinder. The helm unit acts as both a fluid reservoir and pump. Turning of the helm,
or steering wheel, pumps the fluid in the hydraulic hoses and activates the hydraulic cylinder
causing the rudders to turn. A slight clicking sound may be heard as the wheel is turned. This
sound is the opening and closing of valves in the helm unit and is normal. Refer to the
manufacturer owner’s manual for specific information on the steering system.
Dual engine inboard boats have two rudders. These are coupled together at the tiller arms by a
tie bar. The rudders are toed-in

" at the front to provide maximum stability on straight ahead
runs and proper tracking through corners. Rudder or steering system damage may require the
rudders to be realigned.
2.6 Trim Tabs
The trim tabs are recessed into the hull on the transom. Rocker
switches are used to control the trim tabs. The switch is labeled and
controls bow up and down movements. It also controls starboard
and port up and down movements. Bow up and bow down will
control the hull planing attitude, while port and starboard up and
down provide control for the hull listing.
Before leaving the dock, make sure that the tabs are in the full
“UP” position by holding the control in the bow up position for ten
(10) seconds.
