Instructions for
Special Conditions
Following Sea Make sure the tabs are fully retracted
by pressing Bow Up on both sides
or All Up on the controller. This
brings both tabs to a fully retracted
position, decreasing lift in the stem,
allowing the bow to rise. If tabs are
deployed, the bow may dig.
Head Sea Lower both tabs slightly by pressing
Bow Down on both sides or All
Down on the controller.
This brings the bow down, while
maintaining speed. This adjustment
allows the hull of the boat to absorb
the impact of the waves, resulting in
a more eicient and smoother ride.
Porpoising To stop porpoising, press Bow Down
on both sides of the switch or All
Down on the controller. The tabs
need only to be deployed slightly to
correct this adverse situation.
Shallow
Water/
Holeshot
Lower both tabs completely down by
pressing Bow Down on both sides
or All Down on the controller. This
provides lift in the stern of the boat
and keeps the bow down. As you
throttle up and the speed increases,
raise tabs by pressing Bow Up on
both sides.
The system will also assist for
Holeshot automatically when Auto,
Hold, FAV 1 or FAV 2 is engaged.
Uneven Load If one side of the boat is higher than
the other while running, press Bow
Down on the switch on that side or
rotate dial in desired direction. This
lowers the tab on the listing side
(low side) to bring the boat level.
Windy Chop To raise the windward side of the
boat, press Bow Up on that side or
rotate dial in desired direction. If this
is not suicient, press Bow Down on
the leeward side of the boat. Do not
over trim when attempting this. This
allows the windward side of the boat
to rise and minimizes spray.
