CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Trim Tab
The trim tab compensates for ‘‘torque
steer,’’ which is a reaction of the
outboard motor to propeller rotation.
If uncompensated, torque steer would
make the outboard motor tend to turn
to one side.
When the trim tab is correctly
adjusted (p. 80), steering effort is
equal in either direction.
