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.

The trim tab also serves as an anode to
protect the engine from electrochemical
corrosion. Never paint the trim tab as it will
become ineffective as an anode.
