Avoid depressing the switch while awaiting
the trim plane reaction. By the time the effect
is noticeable the trim tab plane will have
moved too far and the boat will be in an
overcompensated position.
When running at a speed that will result in
the boat falling off plane, lowering the tabs
slightly, bow down, will improve the running
angle and operating efficiency. Too much
bow down tabs can reduce operating effi-
ciency and cause difficult steering and han-
dling.
When running at high speeds, make sure
the tabs are in the full “UP” position. Only
enough trim plane action should be used to
compensate for any listing. Trim tabs are
more sensitive at higher speeds. Adjust for
this and be prepared to slow down if difficul-
ties arise.
Be extremely careful when operating in a fol-
lowing sea. The effect of trim tabs is ampli-
fied under these conditions. Difficulty in
steering and handling can result from
improper trim tab usage, especially in a fol-
lowing sea; raise the tabs to the full bow
"UP" position.
When running into a chop, a slight bow
down attitude will improve the ride. Be care-
ful not to over trim, difficulty in handling can
result.
Trim Tab Indicator DC 265
Lenco Trim Tab Switches
The switches are labeled to indicate the
reaction of the bow of the boat. The L.E.D.
displays indicate the position of the trim
tabs. When adjusting the starboard bow up
or down, the L.E.D. indicator on the right
side of the panel will activate, indicating the
movement of the port tab. Refer to the trim
tab operation manual.
2.8 Compass
The compass is located at the helm. To
adjust the compass, read the instructions on
“Compass Compensation” included in the lit-
erature packet. The compass cannot be
adjusted accurately at the factory as it must
be compensated for the influence of the
electrical equipment and electronics unique
to your boat. The compass should be
adjusted by a professional after the electron-
ics and additional electrical accessories are
installed and before operating the boat.
2.9 Control Systems
Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems
and all connections should be made. Signs
of rust, corrosion, wear, or other deteriora-
tion must immediately be serviced. Periodic
lubrication of all moving parts and connec-
tions with light waterproof grease is
required.
Control system adjustments may become
necessary. If adjustments are necessary,
see your Pursuit Dealer.
Steering System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all steering hoses, link-
ages and helm assemblies. Signs of corro-
sion, cracking, loosening of fastenings,
excessive wear, or deterioration must be
corrected immediately. Check the hydraulic
steering fluid level frequently and maintain
the proper level. Periodic lubrication of all
moving parts and connections with light
waterproof grease is required. Failure to do
so can lead to steering system failure and
result in loss of control.
When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steer-
ing systems may need to be purged of air.
Refer to the information provided with the
steering system for specifications and ser-
vice information. Check steering operation
and visually inspect for loose or missing
hardware before operating the boat. If you
