2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
Following Sea: Make sure the plates are fully retracted by
pressing BOW UP on both sides of a dual system, and BOW UP on
a single system. This will bring the plate(s) up to a fully retracted
position, decreasing lift in the stern and allowing the bow to rise. If
the plate(s) is/are deployed, the bow may dig.
Shallow Water/Hole Shot: Lower the plate completely by pressing
BOW DOWN. This provides lift in the stern of the boat and will keep
the bow down. As you throttle up and speed increases, raise the
tab by pressing UP.
Porpoising: To stop porpoising, press BOW DOWN on the attitude
adjustment plate control. The plate(s) needs only to be deployed
slightly to correct this adverse situation.
Improper use of the Attitude Adjustment Plate may result in loss
of control, which could result in serious injury or death.
• While at higher speeds, do not over-trim, as this will cause the
bow to lower quickly, resulting in a reduction of speed and may
cause the boat to veer.
• When in following seas or when running an inlet, the plates
should be fully retracted. This will allow for optimal performance.
• Electro-hydraulic actuators provide an instant response.
When making adjustments, use short momentary taps of
the switch.
Special Attention
On all XT, X, and Xstar models, the attitude adjustment plate is
limited to eighty-five percent (85%) maximum extension when the
boat speed exceeds twenty five miles per hour (25 mph) or forty
kilometers per hour (40 km/h).
Maneuvering a boat with the attitude adjustment plate extended
requires practice to master. Initial times running with the attitude
adjustment plate extended should be done at low speed with plenty
of room. This is critical to learning how the attitude adjustment plate
aects control and maneuverability, especially when teaming the
attitude adjustment plate with surf tabs.
Additional Special Attention
DO NOT use the attitude adjustment plate(s) to board the boat.
The edges are sharp and can easily slice through skin. The plate(s)
is also not sturdy enough to withstand many people’s body weight.
Damage to the plate(s) in this manner is not covered under warranty.
Use only boarding ladders and swim platforms to board from the
transom side when boats are equipped with an attitude adjustment
