The engine cover lock levers fasten
the engine cover to the outboard
motor.
Proper adjustment prevents the
outboard motor from being trimmed
too low (p. ).
The transom angle adjusting rod
limits the tilt angle of the outboard
motor when fully lowered.
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. ), steering effort is
equal in either direction.
