Owner`s manual
Your
boat
is
equipped
with trim tabs, which
can
be
used
to
help
adjust for
trim
and
list variations caused
by
load,
wind
or
other
variables while
underway.
If
trim tabs
are
installed,
and
additional
trim
is
required
when
accelerating
to
cruising speed, lower
the
mm
tabs
to
quickly
bring
the
boat
up
at
the
stern
and
in to a
planing
attitude.
As
water
passes
under
the
hull.
it
contacts
the
mm
tabs forcing
the
stem
up.
Change
the
angle
of
the
trim tabs to
change
the rate
of
lift; lower tabs result
in
faster
lift
Until you
become
familiar with
trimming
your
boat,
move
the
rocker
switches
in
half-second intervals.
The
boat
will
not
react
immediately;
it
will take a few seconds.
The
mm
tabs can also be used to control uneven weight situations while
underway.
For
a heavy stern, lower
mm
tabs equally until a comfortable
angle
is
achieved. If
the
port
or
starboard
is
heavy, lower
the
trim tab
on
the
heavy side to a
point
where the
boat
levels
out.
Shallow
Water
Operation
A
CAUI'ION
Never
attnnpt
ro
plane
the
boat
or
exceed
1000
RPM
when
the
outdrive is
in
a
partially
or
fuIIy tilted pori·
tion.
Always
return the
outdrive
to
the
trim
muge
indi-
cated
on the
TRIM
gauge
as
soon
as
possible to
avoid
damage
to the engine
and
outdrive.
Tilting the outdrive,
so
that you can operate in shallow water, is pennissi-
ble
provided
you
do
not
afJn-ate
tM
mgine
ovn-
1000
RPM.
Exceeding 1000
RPM
could
damage
engine
and outdrive
components.
\;\l1en operating
in
shallow
water,
be sure the QUldrive water intakes are
submerged
at
all times.
Operate
at slow
speed
and
lower the outdrive
immediately when
deeper
water
is
reached.
Dropping
and
Weighing
Anchor
Maneuver the boat over the spot where the
anchor
is
to
be
lowered, keeJr
ing
in
mind
the
wind,
current,
and
scope
(length
of
the
anchor
line). A
good
gauge
for
the
amount
of
scope
is
a
length
6 to 7 times
the
depth
of
the water
anchored
in. For example, you are in 10
feet
ofwaler,
so
use
approximately
60 to 70 feet scope.
Have a crew
member
on
the bow carefully lower the anchor. When the
anchor
is
on
the
bottom, keep slight tension
on
the
line
. Maneuver the
boat
backwards slowly until the
proper
scope has
been
red out. Fasten the
line
around
the
bow cleat.
Anchor
flukes should dig
in
and
hold.
Watch
for
an
chor drag
by
observing shoreline
landmarks
at
the
time
the
anchor
is
dropped
and
one-half
hour
later.
If
the
reference
marks have
moved,
the
anchor
is
dragging
and
must be reset.
The
end
of
the
anchor
line should be
attached
to
a
mooring
cleaL When
the line
is
coiled,
it should be
done
neatly and each
coil
put
around
Dr
on
top
of
the
previous coil
so
the
line can
be
fed
out
smoothly when
anchoring.
