Trim Tabs - Regal 3200 Bowrider Owner's Manual

Trim Tabs

TRIM TAB SWITCH
Trim tabs if installed are located on the lower hull
on the transom. Water is defl ected and redirected
as the trim tabs are raised and lowered from the
starboard located trim tab switch. This change in
water fl 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 located in the aft bilge.

listing, water conditions,
and other factors that
cause ineffi cient operation.
Remember, that trim tabs
are trimming the hull while
power trim is trimming the
engine drive.
