Trim Tabs
The trim tabs come equipped with auto retract. The planing tabs are located on each side of the transom on the
bottom of the hull. The trim tabs operate independently, up or down, to correct for differing conditions of wind or
load. Refer to the owner's packet for specific information.
Check the operations of your trim tabs before getting underway. To operate the trim tabs locate the trim tab
rocker switches on the console. Press both switches forward and hold them down. This will engage both trim
tabs and will ensure they are working properly while in the full down position.
The switch on the port side operates the starboard trim tab. The switch on the starboard side operates the port
trim tab. To check each trim tab individually, press one of the trim tab rocker switches forward and check to see if
the opposite trim tab goes down. For example if the starboard trim tab switch is being pressed down, the port trim
tab should be going down. Repeat the same process for the opposite side.
While underway and in open water, clear of other boaters, depress the top half of the switches in half-second
increments to achieve the desired degree of trim. To correct a starboard list, depress the top half of the port
switch in small increments until the list is corrected. To avoid over trim, allow a few seconds between tab
adjustments to allow the boat to respond. If you over trim, simply give the over trimmed tab an adjustment in the
opposite direction. Push the top half of both rocker switches in half-second increments to trim the bow down.
Warning: Trim tabs can cause a dramatic change in the attitude and heading of your boat.
Adjust them in small increments when in open water and clear of any obstructions.
Trim Tab Indicators (Optional)
The trim tab indicator switch may be added when trim tabs are factory
installed. The waterproof indicator and switch lights up to let you know
exactly where your trim tabs are.
