lowing sea; raise the tabs to the full bow
"UP" position.
When running into a chop, a slight bow
down attitude will improve the ride. Be care-
ful not to over trim, difficulty in handling can
result.
Trim Tab Indicator
The switches are labeled to indicate the
reaction of the bow of the boat. The L.E.D.
displays indicate the position of the trim
tabs. When adjusting the starboard bow up
or down, the L.E.D. indicator on the right
side of the panel will activate, indicating the
movement of the port tab. Refer to the trim
tab operation manual.
2.10 Compass
The compass is located at the helm. To
adjust the compass, read the instructions on
“Compass Compensation” included in the lit-
erature packet. The compass cannot be
adjusted accurately at the factory as it must
be compensated for the influence of the
electrical equipment and electronics unique
to your boat. The compass should be
adjusted by a professional after the electron-
ics and additional electrical accessories are
installed and before operating the boat.
2.11 Bow Thruster
The bow thruster is electrically driven and
controlled by a joystick on the helm. Service
access for the bow thruster is gained by
removing the bottom center drawer under
the forward berth. The main breaker and
battery are located under the forward berth.
The bow thruster is powered from the house
battery. Operate in short bursts of a few sec-
onds to preserve battery life. Refer to the
bow thruster manual for more information,
maintenance and warranty information.
