2021 OWNERS MANUAL / 248
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT PLATE
Models
Standard on the X24, X26 and XStar. XT Series and NXT models, as
an option.
Purpose
When used properly, the plate improves the ride, reduces drag,
increases speed and improves the fuel eciency of the boat
Location
The attitude adjustment plate is permanently 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 adjustment plate is basic. The plate
is mounted with an actuator on the transom of the boat. When the
plate is lowered, the water flow is redirected, creating an upward
force at the boat’s stern. When the stern rises, the bow will lower.
Since these actuators are electromechanical, they provide an
immediate response at the touch of the helm mounted switch. (The
attitude adjustment plate can also be controlled through the dual
screen and 7” touchscreen dash.) Press and hold UP on the switch
raise the center tab. Press and hold DOWN on the switch to lower
the center tab into the water.
Because our models have dierent weights, lengths, speed
and performance, it will take some practice for the operator to
understand how the boat reacts with the attitude adjustment plate
installed. The plate will allow your boat to get on plane faster and
continue planing at lower speeds. It improves visibility and the
overall safety of your boat.
When making adjustments with the attitude adjustment plate, use
short momentary taps of the switch. Continued practice will help
you become familiar with how the plate performs.
