counterclockwise. When constant speed is desired, tighten the adjuster to maintain the desired
throttle setting.
WARNING:
Do not over-tighten the friction adjuster. If there is too much resistance, it could be difficult to
move throttle lever or grip, which could result in an accident.
2.9 Trim tab
The trim tab should be adjusted so that the steering control can turned to either the right or left by
applying same amount of force.
WARNING:
An improperly adjusted trim tab could cause difficult steering. Always test run after the
trim tab has been installed or replaced to be sure steering is correct.
Be sure you have tightened the bolt.
If the boat tends to veer the left, turn the trim tab to the port side. If the boat tends to veer the right,
turn the trim tab to the starboard side.
