Remember that all boats react very slowly to trim tabs. Often operators
do not give trim tabs time to work. Press the trim tabs switches for
only two seconds at a time and then allow some time for the boat to
react. If the boat is still listing after a minute or two, press the trim tab
switch again for a two second interval.
A Comment from Seaswirl: You can extend the life expectancy of
the hydraulic cylinders on the trim tabs by keeping the cylinders
retracted while at dockside. Press both trim tab controls down until
tabs reach their full up position.
ANCHORING
Note: This section includes general information about anchoring. It does not
address all possible anchoring situations. Seaswirl recommends that you
attend a safe boating course to learn more about anchoring.
Anchors are available in different shapes, sizes and weights to fit differ-
ent boats, uses, and conditions. The boat’s size and weight governs the
weight of the anchor and diameter of anchor line. Your Seaswirl dealer
can tell you which anchor will work best. You need an anchor line at
least 6 to 7 times longer than the depth of water anchored in (Figure 9-
5). For example, if you anchor in water 20 feet (6 m) deep, use an
anchor line 120 to 140 feet (36 to 43 m) long (minimum).

Trim drives in more than usual.
Lower tabs to keep bow down
and go at a slower speed.
To prevent taking seawater over
the bow, trim drives in and keep
tabs up to keep bow up.
Use tabs independently to adjust
for list. If listing to starboard,
lower port tab. If listing to port,
lower starboard tab.
