Trim Tab Adjustment and
Replacement
IMPORTANT: The trim tab is now painted and
does NOT aid in protecting the drive shaft hous-
ing and gear housing from galvanic corrosion
(corrosion and pitting of metal surfaces). Side
anodes now provide protection. Do not paint or
place protective coating on the side anodes, or
corrosion protection function will be lost.
1. Replace trim tab if damaged. Mark location of old
trim tab on anti-ventilation plate before removal;
install new trim tab in same location.
2. The trim tab provides a means to offset (balance)
some of the steering load that is caused by pro-
peller torque at higher operating speeds. If at
higher speeds the boat turns more easily to the
left, loosen bolt, move the trim tab (trailing edge)
to the left (when viewed from behind); retighten
bolt. Turn trim tab (trailing edge) to the right if the
boat turns more easily to the right.
