‘Ikim Tab Adjustment

TIGHTENING B

The trim tab is provided to adjust for

“torque steer” which is a reaction of

the propeller rotation or propeller

torque. If during a high speed turn an

unequal amount of effort is required to

turn the boat right or left, adjust the

trim tab so that an equal amount of

effort is required.

Distribute the load evenly in the boat

and run the boat in a straight course at

full throttle. Slightly turn the steering

wheel or tiller handle for both right

and’ left turns to determine the amount

of effon required.

If less effort is required to make left

turns:

Loosen the trim tab tightening bolt

and turn the rear end of the trim tab

toward the left. Tighten the bolt

securely.

If less effort is .required to make right

turns:

Loosen the trim tab tightening bolt

and turn the rear end of the trim tab

toward the right. Tighten the bolt

securely.

Make small adjustments at a time and

retest. Incorrect trim tab adjustment

can cause adverse steering.

The trim tab also functions as a sacrifi-

cial anode.

-1 Painting or coating

the

anode will lead to rust and corrosion

damage to the outboard motor
