Trim Tab Adjustment

The trim tab can be adjusted within limits to help to
compensate for steering torque.

Adjust trim tab as follows:

1. If boat tends to pull to the right, move the rear

edge of the trim tab to the right.

2. If boat tends to pull to the left, move the rear edge

of the trim tab to the left.

NOTE: Trim tab adjustment will have little effect re-
ducing steering torque if the the anti-ventilation plate
is raised 2 inches (50mm) or more above the boat bot-
tom.
