Trim Tabs (If Equipped)
• Your boat may be equipped with trim tabs.
• The trim tabs may be used to help keep your boat level at cruising speeds.
• The trim tabs are controlled by two rocker switches at the helm.
• Before using the trim tabs read and understand the trim tab operation manual.
Observe the following:
• Once cruising speed is reached, the port or starboard trim switch may be used (one at a time) to level the boat.
• Perform trim tab adjustment with several short touches to the switch rather than one long one.
• After each short touch allow several seconds for the hull to react.
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper use of trim tabs will cause loss of control!
• DO NOT allow anyone unfamiliar with trim tabs to use them.
• DO NOT use trim tabs in a following sea as they will cause broaching or other unsafe
handling characteristics.
• DO NOT use trim tabs to compensate for excessive unequal weight distribution.
