Attitude Adjustment Plate
Models:
Standard on the X-46, X55 and
XStar. MasterCraft utilizes an attitude
adjustment plate on several models. A
single plate kit is used on the XSeries
boats. The attitude adjustment plate is
optional on models other than those list-
ed above as standard.
Purpose:
When used properly, the plate im-
proves the ride, reduces drag, increases
speed and improves the fuel efciency
of the boat.
Location:
The attitude adjustment plate is perma-
nently attached to the boat’s stern, below
the waterline. Control is by way of either
the video display (and explained more
fully in the Video Display Gauges section
of this Owner’s Manual) or by manual
switches located on the driver’s armrest.
Operation:
The operation of the attitude adjust-
ment plates is basic. The plate(s) is/are
mounted with the actuator(s) on the tran-
som of the boat. When the plate(s) is/are
lowered, the water ow is redirected,
creating an upward force at the boat’s
stern. When the stern rises, the bow will
lower.
