Trim Tab Adjustment
Propeller steering torque will cause your boat to pull in one
direction. This steering torque is a normal result from your
outboard not trimmed with the propeller shaft parallel to the
water surface. The trim tab can help to compensate for this
steering torque in many cases and can be adjusted within limits
to reduce any unequal steering effort.
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.
MODELS WITHOUT POWER TRIM
Operate your boat at normal cruising speed trimmed to desired
position by installing the tilt pin in the desired tilt pin hole. Turn
your boat left and right and note the direction the boat turns more
easily.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen 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 bolt and retest.
MODELS WITH POWER TRIM
Operate your boat at normal cruising speed, trimmed to desired
position. Turn your boat left and right and note the direction the
boat turns more easily.
