Bilge Blower; Trim Tabs - Bayliner 2855 Sunbridge Owner's Manual

Bilge Blower

• The bilge blower removes fumes from the engine
compartment and draws fresh air into the compart-
ment through the deck vents.
• To ensure fresh air circulation, operate the bilge
blower for at least four minutes before starting the
engine, during starting, and while operating the boat
below cruising speed.
• Operation of the blower system is not a guarantee that explosive fumes have been
removed. If you smell fuel, DO NOT start the engine. If the engine is already running,
IMMEDIATELY shut OFF the engine and all electrical accessories and investigate.
• DO NOT obstruct or modify the ventilation system.
Tri m Ta b s
Trim tabs control the longitudinal and lateral trim of your boat at
cruising speeds and are controlled by two rocker switches,
located at the helm station. Before using the trim tab switches,
we strongly urge you to read and understand the trim tab opera-
tion manual included in your boat's owner's packet and observe
the following:
• Once the best bow cruising trim is reached, use the port or
starboard trim switches, one at a time, to correct unequal lat-
eral loading.
• Trim tab adjustment should be performed by several short
touches to the switch rather than one long one. After each short
touch allow about five seconds for the hull to react.
• The trim tab hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the engine
compartment. The fluid level should be checked periodically
(at least once a year) and refilled as necessary.
WARNING!
!
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
• Improper use of trim tabs may cause loss of control! DO
NOT use trim tabs in a following sea as they may cause
broaching or other unsafe handling characteristics.
• NEVER allow anyone unfamiliar with trim tabs to oper-
ate them and DO NOT use trim tabs to compensate for
excessive unequal weight distribution.
