Maintenance of the Trim Tab System is as
follows:
✔Silverton recommends painting the trim
tabs with good quality, antifouling bottom
paint. DO NOT paint any hinges or the
moving parts of the cylinders.
✔To reduce the risk of electrolysis and
galvanic corrosion, Silverton recommends
the installation of sacrificial zinc anodes
on the trim tab plates at least once a year,
preferably during preparation for spring
launch. DO NOT paint the sacrificial zinc
anodes.
✔Periodically examine the trim tabs for
accumulation of underwater growth and
clean as necessary.
✔Periodically examine the trim tab pump
and hydraulic lines, which are located in
the bilge area, for leaks(Refer to the
Mechanical Schematic in the Schematic
Section of this Owners Manual for the
location of the trim tab pump). Tighten
connections if leaks are noted. If the
hydraulic lines appear worn or chafed,
contact your Silverton dealer for inspec-
tion and replacement, if necessary. The
photo below shows the trim tab pump.
Refer to the BENNETT TRIM TAB Manual
included with your owner’s packet for
technical information concerning the
operation and maintenance of the trim tab
system.
