Controls
Power Trim and Tilt
The stern drive on your boat
is equipped with power trim
and tilt.
Trim and tilt instructions are
provided in the engine opera-
tion manual and the shifter/
throttle manual, included in
your owner’s packet.
Trim Tabs
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 the helm. Before using the trim tabs read and understand the
trim tab operation manual included in your boat’s owner’s packet.
Observe the following:
• Once 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.
• The trim tab hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment. The fluid level must be checked
periodically (at least once a year) and refilled as necessary.
