Troubleshooting Guide

Problem: Trim tabs do not work together independently, or intermittently.

Solution Sequence:

  • Inspect fuse (optional) at fuse panel. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify that all connections at tactile switch control box or double rocker switch assembly are tight and in place.
  • Make sure that switch assembly has a solid ground.
  • If the power actuator cables were spliced inside the transom, inspect joint for positive connection.
  • If, after following steps stated above, the actuators still do not operate properly — STOP and call the factory for further assistance at 772-288-2662

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Check electrical connections behind switch and make sure ground wire is in place.

For saltwater applications, the addition of a zinc anode will deter electrolysis. It is important that the zinc is in contact with the trim tab blade.

To discourage any marine growth on tab or actuator, antifouling paint can be applied. When applying paint to the actuator, make sure it is fully retracted. Do not paint the stainless ram above the area that is exposed when retracted.

If tabs malfunction or tabs become stuck in the down position while underway, remove pin or bolt at the lower mounting bracket.

To reposition the actuator, turn stainless steel ram clockwise and reattach. You can also resecure the tab manually by fastening the lower mounting bracket.
