I recently purchased a 245 Weekender and can't figure out how to use the trim tabs. My first question is the meaning of the markings on the trim tabs. For example, on the port side switch if you push the top of the switch there is a down arrow. Does that mean that pushing the top will move the port side bow down or does it mean that it pushes the port trim tab down which would raise the bow? I assumed that you would put the trim tabs down to help it come up on plane but some of what I have read suggests that you shouldn't use the trim tabs to come up on plane but rather only use them to trim the boat once it is on plane.
I haven't been able to find anything on line in an owner's manual or other materials that describes the use of the trim tabs. Are you aware of anything.
Thanks for the help.
