Trim tab
An improperly adjusted trim tab could cause difficult steering. Always test run after
trim tab has been installed or replaced to be sure steering is correct. Be sure you
have tightened the bolt after adjusting the trim tab.
The trim tab should be adjusted so that the steering control can be turned to either the right
or left by applying the same amount of force.
If the boat tends to veer to the left (port side),turn the trim tab rear end to the port side “A” in
the figure.
If the boat tends to veer to the right (starboard side) , turn the trim tab end to the starboard
side “B” in the figure.
