Trim Tabs
The Surf System uses two trim tabs to shape the
wake on each rider’s preferred side of the boat.
Trim tabs roll the boat to port or starboard causing
water to flow along the hull and around the transom
and create a clean wave. When the port tab is
deployed and the starboard tab is raised, a wave
forms on the starboard side of the boat. When
the starboard tab is deployed and the port tab is
raised, a wave forms on the port side of the boat.
Deploying both tabs keeps the bow of the boat
down and helps the boat get on plane when
weighed down by ballast. On most surf models
deploying both trim tabs is only possible via “Quick
Launch” (see “Quick Launch” below) on the Water
Sport Control screen. Some Regal models have
physical switches that control the tabs without
Quick Launch.
You may need to maneuver around the engines
to access. Once open, water can be pumped in
or out of the bags. There are siphon breaks along
the ballast hose that keep water from siphoning
out of the bags. Should the bags overfill, water will
discharge overboard through vents in the starboard
hull side below the windshield.
Only fill ballast at a complete stop or slow idle.
Filling while at higher speeds can trap air bubbles
in the system which will disrupt ballast timing.
Each ballast’s fill time is set at the Regal factory
and varies between models. The aft bags hold the
same amount of water and take the same amount
of time to fill. The center bag is larger than the aft
bags, holds more water, and takes longer to fill and
drain.
