Trim Tab Adjustment
Propeller steering torque will cause the boat to pull in one direction.
Steering torque results from the outboard not being tilted so the
propeller shaft is parallel to the water surface. The trim tab can help
compensate for this steering torque in many cases and can be
adjusted within limits to reduce any unequal steering effort.
Operate your boat at normal cruising speed with the outboard set
at the desired operating angle position. Turn your boat left and right
and note the direction the boat turns more easily.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the trim tab bolt and make small
adjustments at a time. If the boat turns more easily to the left, move
the trailing edge of trim tab to the left. If the boat turns more easily
to the right, move the trailing edge of trim tab to the right. Retighten
the bolt and retest.
