The electrical system will continue to operate as long as the key is
turned. Whenever the engine is stopped, the key should be turned
to the left and/or removed in order to prevent depletion of the
batteries and inability to start the engine.
At the conclusion of the outing, turn the key OFF and remove from
the key slot. Also, shut OFF the battery switch. Doing so will ensure
that you have turned OFF the electrical system, and prevent
others from starting or running the boat. Note that shutting OFF
the key but failing to also turn OFF the battery switch will result
in the electrical charge to the battery or batteries continuing to
drain. Such drain will, in time, render the batteries unable to start
the engine or run any electrical components on the boat. As noted
elsewhere in this Owner’s Manual, a dead battery could cause
boaters to become stranded.
Attitude Adjustment Plate and Surf Star System Wake Shaping
Devices (when equipped) The Attitude Adjustment Plate has been
designed to improve the overall attitude of a boat. If used properly,
the plate will improve the ride, reduce drag, increase speed and
improve the fuel eciency of the boat.
The plate is mounted with the actuator on the transom of the boat.
When the plate is lowered, the water flow is redirected, creating
an upward force at the stern of the boat. When the stern rises, the
bow will lower.
Since the actuator that maneuvers the plate is electro-hydraulic,
it provides an immediate response at the touch of the switch.
The switch adjustments are based on the position of the bow,
and are designed in that manner to minimize the guesswork while
underway.
Press the switch DOWN to lower the bow. Press the switch UP to
raise the bow.
Since 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 plates will allow your boat to get on plane faster
and continue planing at lower speeds. This will improve visibility
and the overall safety of the boat. When making adjustments with
the attitude adjustment plates, use short momentary taps of the
switch. Continued practice will help you become familiar with how
the plates perform.
Surf Star System Wake Shaping Device Switches Independent
switches are provided for each device. Press DOWN on the switch
to deploy the tab, and UP on the switch to retract the tab.
Maneuvering a boat with the wake shaping devices deployed
requires practice to master. Initial times running with either
deployment should be done at low speed and with plenty of room.
This is critical to learning how the devices aect control and
