Trim Tabs
TRIM TAB SWITCH
PORT ROCKER
STBD. ROCKER
Trim tabs are located on the lower hull of the
transom. Water is deected and redirected as the
trim tabs are raised and lowered from the starboard
helm located trim tab switch. This change in water
ow creates upper pressure under the tabs, and
raises the stern. When the stern rises, the bow is
lowered. Lowering the port tab will cause the port stern to rise, making
the starboard bow lower. Lowering the starboard tab will cause the
starboard stern to rise, making the port bow lower. The pressure
originates from a pump and valve system at the aft bilge.
Using trim tabs in
conjunction with the power
trim will compensate for
uneven weight distribution,
listing, water conditions, and
other factors that cause
inefficient operation.
Remember, that trim tabs
are trimming the hull while
power trim is trimming the
propulsion units.
