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.

26816

NOTE: Trim tab adjustment will have little effect reducing steering torque if the

outboard is installed with the anti‑ventilation plate approximately 50 mm (2 in.)

or more above the boat bottom.
MODELS WITHOUT POWER TRIM

Operate your boat at normal cruising speed trimmed to desired position by

installing the tilt pin in the desired tilt pin hole. Turn your boat left and right and

note the direction the boat turns more easily.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen trim tab bolt and make small adjustments at

a time. If the boat turns more easily to the left, move the trailing edge of trim tab

to the left. If the boat turns more easily to the right, move the trailing edge of

trim tab to the right. Retighten bolt and retest.
