WARNING
Avoid possible serious injury or death from loss of boat control. Maintain sufficient steering friction to prevent
the outboard from steering into a full turn if the tiller handle or steering wheel is released.
Steering Friction Adjustment Adjust this screw to achieve the desired steering friction (drag) on the steering wheel.
Turn screw clockwise to tighten friction or turn counterclockwise to loosen friction.

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.
