After the adjustment, securely tighten the trim tab bolt.
NOTE: Inspect the tightness of the bolt and the trim tab at regular
intervals. Due to corrosion, the trim tab will wear down over time.
IMPORTANT: The trim tab also acts as an anode to prevent
galvanic corrosion. Do not apply any paint, grease, or other
material to the surface of the trim tab.
NOTE: Trim tab adjustment will have little effect reducing steering
torque if the outboard is installed with the anti‑ventilation plate
approximately 50 mm (2 in.) or more above the boat bottom.
The trim tab is located under the anti‑ventilation plate.
