Trim Tab Maintenance

Marine growth can interfere with the proper

operation of the trim tab planes and actua-

tors. To reduce problems due to marine

growth, always return the trim tabs to the full

“UP” position after operating the boat and

periodically inspect and clean marine growth

from the actuators and planes.

Trim tabs are equipped with a zinc anode to

prevent galvanic corrosion. Electrolytes,

such as saltwater, cause galvanic corrosion

with different metals. Properly protect sub-

merged metal parts from seawater using

zinc anodes. The factory installed zinc

anodes, but replace the anodes when they

are 75% of their original size.

Refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter of

this manual for information on maintaining

zinc anodes and the trim tab owner’s manual

for additional maintenance information, fluid

specifications and operating instructions.

! WARNING

Inspect and maintain control and

steering systems regularly. Do not

attempt adjustments unless you are

familiar with steering control system

service procedures. Control misad-

justment can cause loss of control

and severe engine or lower unit dam-

age.

! CAUTION

Follow instructions in the owner's

information packet for hydraulic steer-

ing system operating, bleeding and

maintenance procedures.
