TRISTRAM TECH TIP / Capstan Care
It’s important to periodically check the condition of your capstan as well as your warp and chain for signs of deterioration. Be sure to examine your capstan’s motor and terminals. If there is any sign of corrosion or you’ve noticed changes in your capstan’s performance, contact the Tristram Service Centre team for advice. If your warp is in good condition but is slipping in the capstan when launching or retrieving, try tightening your capstan clutch with the provided tool, or schedule a booking with the Tristram Technicians to have your capstan serviced.

All Tristram’s are fitted with premium quality marine grade 316 Stainless steel. From your bowrail to bimini, to every handle and rod holder, this grade of stainless steel is used. It is important to wipe over your stainless with a wet towel to remove any saltwater spots which could form ‘tea stains’.

TRISTRAM TECH TIP / Battery Isolating Switches
Battery Isolating switches are fitted for your safety and to control battery charging and current draw circuits. The start isolator controls the engine and capstan circuits while the house isolator switches on all dash electronics. The Emergency Parallel switch should only be used when the start battery cannot start the engine alone. For more information about your isolating switches, please contact the Tristram Service Centre.

TRISTRAM TECH TIP / Sterndrive Flushing
Flushing your sterndrive engine is vital for engine longevity and to preserve internal components of your engine. Use the flush fitting on your sterndrive to flush out saltwater deposits after each use. The engine should be run for at least 10 minutes to ensure fresh water has made its way through the system. If you have noticed any cooling issues or have any other questions about your sterndrive engine, contact the Tristram Service Centre today.
