the ride has been adjusted for comfort and safety, tapping individual tabs can even
improve the overall effects.
Pushing on the top of the switch (Down) will lower the trim tab and force the bow down,
which is important for running through heavy seas or a stiff chop. In most instances,
both tabs should be lowered for an even bow down ride.
Pushing the bottom of the switch (Up) will raise the tabs and lift the bow out of the
water for better running performance. To achieve the best running performance with
your Pathfinder 2300 HPS, use the engine trim in conjunction with your trim tabs to
find the perfect amount of lift and a safe, comfortable ride.
In cases of severe weather or high winds, it is possible to use your trim tabs to lift the
windward side of the boat to avoid spray blowing back onto the passengers. Do this in
conjunction with lowering the bow to improve the overall ride.
Salt Water Wash-Down
Salt-water washdown is standard on the 2300 HPS. The pump is located in the bilge
forward of the livewell pump and is accessible through the splashwell hatch or the aft
port hatch. To operate, hook a hose to the raw water receptacle in the aft section of the
rod locker. Flip the switch labeled “Saltwater”. The pump will pressurize the system with
raw water. Once the system is pressurized, the pump will shut itself off with an internal
pressure switch and will switch itself back on as you demand water. Be careful to only
spray gel coated fiberglass surfaces with saltwater and avoid all other areas. Always
rinse your boat with freshwater as soon as you return to the dock or home if the boat is
being trailered.
Locking Rod Storage
The Pathfinder 2300 HPS comes standard with both
forward port and starboard lockable rod lockers. These
lockers allow you to safely leave your rods in the boat if
you ever have the occasion to leave them unattended.
They also have large openings with gas shock assisted
lids that open from the back allowing for quick and safe
storage and retrieval of rods. Independent tubes
forward protect brittle tips on rods up to 9 feet.
