Testing and commissioning
Once the system has been installed, and the sealant used on all hull penetrations
has had time to fully cure (refer to the sealant manufacturer's instructions), sea trial
the boat to test the trim tab functions and to make any required adjustments to the
system parameters.
Refer to the Operating Manual for operating instructions, including activation and
use of Holeshot Mode. If you have chosen not to enable Holeshot Mode in the
dealer menu, be sure to test the Favorite Position function during sea trial.

System tuning
The performance of holeshot mode is sensitive to system tuning, and for best per-
formance the system should be tuned in a sea trial. The parameters that will most
affect performance are the initial setup parameters (table 6-4).
WARNING!
Proceed carefully to deep, open water to conduct sea trials. Wear a
PFD and connect the engine lanyard(s) to the operator.
Setting the Adaptive Cruising Favorite position for the first time
Before you begin tuning the system for the first time you need to set the favorite position.
With holeshot mode enabled (table 6-5), spend some time up on plane and
manually trim the tabs using the Bow Up and Bow Down buttons to find a good
running trim. Once you are satisfied with the trim, push the Holeshot Mode/
Favorite button.
✓ The center LED will light up steady magenta if a valid SOG source is latched
(section 6.2.3), or lime green otherwise.
Hold the trim position for twenty seconds.
✓ The center LED will flash cyan rapidly for 2 seconds to indicate that the Adap-
tive Cruising Favorite position has been learned for the boat.
The controller will monitor and auto-learn the Adaptive Cruising Favorite position
whenever it is adjusted while holeshot mode is activated.
Tune the initial setup parameters in order:
1. Min Boat Planing RPM
Press the Home button to retract the trim tabs.
Trim the engines to a normal running position.
Shift into forward gear and slowly increase throttle until the boat gets on plane.
Note the engine RPM when the boat gets on plane and enter it in this parameter.
