Maintenance and cleaning
NOTICE! Material damage
• Do not use acetone, or cleaners containing ammonia, acids, or any
other corrosive ingredients.
• Some products formulated for cleaning fiberglass hulls are known to
aggressively corrode stainless steel shafts. If using a hull cleaner,
avoid overspray on to the actuators. Rinse off any overspray
immediately with fresh, clean water.
• Do not use sharp or hard objects to clean the controller. Damage to
the keypad membrane may occur.
• The controller bezel has a drain hole at the bottom. Do not spray
with water from below.
Whenever the boat is out of the water:
Rinse the tabs and actuators with clean, fresh water. Avoid hitting the actuator
with high pressure spray from a pressure washer.
Remove any marine growth such as weeds, barnacles, and shellfish from the
tabs and actuators.
Inspect tabs and actuators for damage, corrosion, or anything that might
impair function.
Check the condition of zinc anodes, if present, and replace if necessary.
Inspect the electrical harness for wear or damage.
NOTICE! Corrosion
• The stainless steel tabs are corrosion resistant, but not corrosion proof.
• Properly installed zinc anodes will help prevent galvanic and stray
current corrosion.
• Some minor corrosion on the tabs may still occur and is not a
warrantable defect.
Controller:
Clean the controller occasionally with a damp cloth.
NOTE: Invasive species
Do your part to protect our waterways from invasive species. If trailering
your boat to a different body of water than you normally boat in:
• Thoroughly inspect trim tabs and actuators for any weeds and shellfish.
• Many boat builders mount the trim tabs in hull pockets that can
easily hide invasive species. Be sure to check these recesses.
