TRIM TAB ADJUSTMENT
The trim tab counteracts or minimizes propeller torque “pull” felt
through the steering system.
If steering is pulled to starboard or port side, adjust the trim tab
with the following procedure:
Adjusting
1. Loosen the bolt of the trim tab.
2. Change the direction of the trim tab.
• To compensate for a veer to starboard, set the trailing edge
of the tab to the right (as viewed from behind).
• To compensate for a veer to port, set the trailing edge of
the tab to the left.
3. Tighten the bolt of the trim tab.
4. Test ride boat and repeat the procedure 1– 3 to set the trim
tab in the best position.
With a properly adjusted trim tab, steering should be neutral and
there should be no tendency for steering to be pulled to either
port or starboard.
