cause substantial steering and handling difficulties. Be
extremely.careful.when.running.in.a.following.sea...The.
effect of trim tabs is amplified under such conditions.
Steering and handling difficulties can result from im-
proper.trim.tab.usage,.especially.in.a.following.sea..If.

to.the.full-up.position.
When running at high engine speeds, be sure
the trim tabs are in the full up position. Trim tab
action should be only enough to compensate
for any listing. Trim tab adjustments at high
speeds are extremely critical. Be prepared to
slow down should handling difficulties arise.

mode, better efficiency will be obtained with the trim
tabs.in.the.full-up.position.
C. Trim Tab Maintenance
Check the fluid level of the trim tab reservoir often.
Always keep the fluid level between the designated
marks.on.the.trim.tab.pump-reservoir...Refer.to.the.
manufacturers information for specifications on the type
of fluid to be used and other operation and mainte-
nance.information.

Never exceed the maximum recommended
operating RPM of your engine. Maintaining
maximum, or close to maximum RPM for
extended periods can reduce the life of the
engine(s).
