direction, move the trim tabs to achieve a level
side to side running attitude being careful not to
over trim.
After depressing a trim tab switch, always wait a
few seconds for the change in the trim plane to
take effect. 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 thus 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 efficiency and cause substantial
steering and handling difficulties.
Be extremely careful when operating in a following
sea. The effect of trim tabs is amplified under such
conditions. Steering and handling difficulties can
result from improper trim tab usage, particularly
in a following sea. Always raise the tabs to the
full bow up position in these conditions.
When running at high speeds be sure that the
tabs are in the full “UP” position. Only enough
trim plane action should be used to compensate
for any listing. Trim tabs are extremely sensitive
at high speeds. Adjust for this and be prepared
to slow down if difficulties arise.
When running into a chop, a slight bow down at-
titude will improve the ride. Be careful not to over
trim. Handling difficulties may result.
4.9 Bow Thruster (Optional)
The optional bow thruster provides the opera-
tor additional control of the bow while docking
or anchoring the boat in tight quarters or high
winds and strong currents. The joystick control
panel is located in the helm and controls the bow
thruster that is mounted to the hull in the bilge
near the bow.
The momentary joystick is activated by the press-
ing both ON buttons simultaneously. Move the
joystick in the direction you wish to thrust. The
joystick is proportional with the power increasing
the further it is pushed, up to preset limits. A one
second delay protects the thruster when the di-
rection is changed. Arrows on the panel on each
side of the joystick indicate the direction the bow
Typical Bow Thruster Control Panel
will move. The bow thruster will stop when the
joystick is released.
Press and hold the OFF button for 5 seconds to
deactivate the bow thruster control pad. The bow
thruster will power down automatically if it senses
no operation for 5 minutes.
The bow thruster circuit is protected by a fuse or
circuit breaker and emergency shut off button/
battery switch located in the forward cabin bilge
compartment below the berth. It is activated
automatically when the thruster control panel
is switched on and turns off when the panel is
deactivated.
Refer to the bow thruster owner’s manual for
details on operating the bow thruster and using
the control.
