fect boat handling if not utilized properly,

the following information is provided to

assist operators in determining the correct

usage of the attitude adjustment plate(s).

Special Conditions

Head Sea: Lower the plate by tap-

ping slightly on BOW DOWN on a

single system. This will bring the bow

down while maintaining speed. This

also allows the hull of the boat to absorb

the impact of the waves. This adjust-

ment will result in a more efcient and

smoother ride. Changes should be made

in small increments to ensure maintain-

ing control of the boat.

Following Sea: Make sure the plates

are fully retracted by pressing BOW

UP on both sides of a dual system, and

BOW UP on a single system. This will

bring the plate(s) up to a fully retracted

position, decreasing lift in the stern and

allowing the bow to rise. If the plate(s)

is/are deployed, the bow may dig.

Shallow Water/Hole Shot: Lower

both plates completely on a dual system

by pressing BOW DOWN on both sides

(the single plate on a single system). This

provides lift in the stern of the boat and

will keep the bow down. As you throttle

up and speed increases, raise the tab(s)

by pressing BOW UP on both sides of a

dual system, and BOW UP on the single

system.

Porpoising: To stop porpoising, press

BOW DOWN on the attitude adjustment

plate control. The plate(s) needs only to

be deployed slightly to correct this ad-

verse situation.

Improper use of attitude adjustment may

result in loss of control, which could result

in serious injury or death.

• While at higher speeds, do not over-

trim, as this will cause the bow to lower

quickly, resulting in a reduction of speed

and may cause the boat to veer.

• When in following seas or when run-

ning an inlet, the plates should be fully

retracted. This will allow for optimal

performance.

• ELECTROMECHANICAL ACTUA-

TORS PROVIDE AN INSTANT RE-

SPONSE. WHEN MAKING ADJUST-

Since these actuators are electrome-

chanical, they provide an immediate re-

sponse at the touch of the switch. (The atti-

tude adjustment plate can also be controlled

through the Video Display Gauge.) Press

and hold up to have the center tab come up.

Pressing down on the switch will lower the

plate/tabs.

(See Surf Tab information immediately

following for boats equipped with both for

information on how those tabs are oper-

ated.)

Because our models have different

weights, lengths, speed and performance,

it will take some practice for the opera-

tor to understand how the boat reacts with

the attitude adjustment plate installed.

The plate will allow your boat to get on

plane faster and continue planing at lower

speeds. This will improve visibility and

the overall safety of your boat. When

making adjustments with the attitude

adjustment plate, use short momen-

tary taps of the switch. Continued prac-

tice will help you become familiar with

how the plates perform.

Special Attention:

Because these plates can adversely af-
