If the quicksilver is the same as my Arvor, and has either a stern or shaft drive then start with the switches pushed down ie push the bottom half of the switch down and hold them for a few seconds.

 

As you increase speed push the top of both switches forward - this should start to bring the trim tabs down which in turn pushes the bow down and increases your speed - i.e. the boat gets up on the plane and moves more effectively through / across the water.

 

if you feel any kind of inbalance because you have most weight on either the port or starboard sides then push the corresponding opposite switch either up or down to compensate.

 

If you have heavy people wandering about whilst motoring or all the weight on one side try and shift everything to either a central position or at least level with you and try and tell people to keep still.

 

Make sure that you return the trim tabs back to the off position each time you moor up the boat.

 

Hope that helps
