Bilge Blower; Trim Tabs - Bayliner Ciera 2455 Sunbridge Owner's Manual

Bilge Blower

• The bilge blower removes fumes
from the engine compartment
and draws fresh air into the com-
partment 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.

Trim Tabs

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 operation
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 star-
board trim switches, one at a time, to correct unequal lateral
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.
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 operate them and DO NOT use trim tabs
to compensate for excessive unequal weight distribution.
