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 GEN2 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 electromechanical,
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.
GEN2 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
maneuverability.
Electromechanical actuators provide an instant response. When
making adjustments, use short momentary taps of the switch.
Special Conditions
Head Sea: Lower the plate by tapping slightly DOWN. This will bring
the bow down while maintaining speed. This also allows the hull of
the boat to absorb the impact of the waves. This adjustment will
result in a more ecient and smoother ride. Changes should be
made in small increments to ensure maintaining control of the boat.
Following Sea: Make sure the plate is fully retracted by pressing UP.
This will bring the plate up to a fully retracted position, decreasing
