Automated Hydro-Gate - CORRECT CRAFT super air 230 2018 Owner's Manual

Section 3
The helm transfers rotary motion of the steering wheel to linear
motion in the cable which pushes or pulls the rudder. Nautique
rudders are equipped with an adjustable trim tab under license
from Z-Marine (U.S. patent 5,746,147) to compensate for the
torque generated by the propeller.
Maintenance for the steering system is minimal because there are
few serviceable parts. The rack and pinion for the system is
lubricated and sealed during manufacturing. It is the responsibility
of the owner/operator to inspect the steering system frequently.
If you experience difficulty in steering, refer to Section 7 - Care and
Maintenance.
controls can cause death or serious injury from sudden
loss of control. DO NOT operate your boat if you
suspect
malfunctioning.

Automated Hydro-Gate™

The automated Hydro-Gate serves two primary functions. While
accelerating to a set speed the automated Hydro-Gate can
automatically deploy to assist the boat in planning when the "plane
assist" feature is turned on and after the set speed is achieved the
automated Hydro-Gate can also be deployed to different
"setpoints" to shape the wave or adjust the attitude of the boat. The
closer the Hydro-Gate setpoint is to "0" the further the Hydro-Gate
deploys which generates more lift and creates a wake with a well-
defined crest and shallower ramp. The bow of the boat will also ride
more "parallel" with the water the further the Hydro-Gate is
deployed. When the Hydro-Gate is not deployed (setpoint of 5) the
wake will be the largest with steepest shape and the bow will ride
less "parallel" with the water. For more details on using the
automated Hydro-Gate please see the LINC Panoray user manual.
