12 CHAPTER 3: COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS

Controls

Read and understand the Controls section of both the Owner's Manual and engine
manual, provided in the owner's packet, for instructions and warranty information.

Trim Tabs

LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper use of trim tabs will cause loss of control!
• Do not allow anyone unfamiliar with trim tabs to use them.
• Do not use trim tabs in a following sea as they will cause broaching or other
unsafe handling characteristics.
• Do not use trim tabs to compensate for excessive unequal weight distribution.
The trim tabs may be used to help keep
your boat level at cruising speeds.
The trim tabs are controlled by two
rocker switches at each helm station.
Before using the trim tab rocker
switches, read and understand the trim
tab operation manual included in your
yacht's owner's packet.
When cruising speed is reached:
• The port or starboard trim switch may be used (one at a time) to level the boat.
•
Perform trim tab adjustment with several short touches to the switch rather than
one long one.
• After each short touch allow several seconds for the hull to react.

Navigation and Interior Lights

Read the navigation light section of the Owner's Manual. The navigation and
interior lights supplied with your boat are of top quality, but you should be aware
that failure may periodically occur for a variety of reasons:
• There may be a blown fuse - replace the fuse in the switch panel.
• The bulb may be burned out - carry spare bulbs for replacement.
• A wire may be damaged or may have come loose - repair as required .
• The bulb base may be corroded - clean the base and coat it with non-conductive
electrical lubricant.
• Conserve battery power. Prolonged operation of cabin interior lights (over-
night) will result in a drained battery.
• Avoid the storage of gear where it would block navigation lights from view.
