'96 SLTX trim / bilge questions

[Mitch]

Two questions...

I have a 1996 SLTX 1050.

My MFD shows the trim positions.....but how do you adjust the trim? Does my machine even have it?

There is also a bilge pump inside the bilge, but I can't find a switch. Is it automatic?

I checked my owners manual but didn't find much on either.

Thanks!

Have you checked the 1992-1998 Service Manual?

No trim. My guess is somebody changed out the MFD or they made them universal for the 2 and 3 seaters??

I don't remember if the 96 has an over ride on the handle bar but if it did it would be on the left control unit and it'd be a push button for temporary operation.
To verify the bilge is working start the engine and check that the pump operates. You can "feel" the unit or maybe put a little water in the hull and see if it pumps it out. I don't think you'll hear it run with the engine operating.

Okay....I just put some water in the bilge and it pumped it out, so it's automatic.

I think the MFD came from the factory with the trim settings on it, because in my owners manual it does say that the MFD has the trim settings on it, although that's all it says....it does not say anything about how to use the trim. So they must have just used the same MFD with the trim settings on it for multiple applications.
