GETTING FAMILIAR-2
The Zinc Anodes are dealer installed on
the trim tabs, shafts, rudders and transom
for the purpose of preventing electrolysis
and galvanic corrosion, which is discussed
in the Winterization and Storage pages in
the Cleaning and Maintenance section of
this manual.
ENGINE SEAWATER PICKUP
The photograph below displays the En-
gine Seawater Pickup as shown on the
starboard side. The Engine Seawater
Pickups are located on the bottom exterior
of the hull forward of the engines and are
used for “scooping” water for the engine
cooling system.
TRANSOM ANODE PLATE
The photograph below displays the Tran-
som Anode Plate, which is a sacrifi cial
zinc anode that is bolted to the transom
and connected to the electrical bonding
system. Its purpose is to help in reduc-
ing the effects of electrolysis and galvanic
corrosion of the underwater components
in your yacht, which is discussed in the
Bonding System pages in the Systems
Operation section of this owners manual.
TRIM TABS
The photograph below displays the Port
Trim Tab, which is factory installed on the
lower edge of the transom. The starboard
trim tab is located in the same location on
the starboard side of the transom. The
purpose of the trim tabs is to assist you in
controlling the angle, both longitudinally
and athwartships, that your yacht rides in
the water during forward movement. The
control panel for the Trim Tabs is located
at the helm station.
