Trim Tab - Suzuki DF 40 Service Manual

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
Connect clutch rod to shift rod as shown.
Make sure that chamfered edge of the turnbuckle faces
downward to seat against the lower nut when tightened.
Adjustment step :
1. Shift the clutch lever from Neutral through Forward and Re-
verse to check that proper engagement of both gears is at
an equal angle from Neutral.
• If Forward gear engages earlier (at a smaller angle) than
Reverse, the turnbuckle should be rotated clockwise until
both gears engage with the same amount of clutch lever
travel.
• If Reverse gear engages earlier than Forward, the turn-
buckle should be rotated counterclockwise.
2. Lock the lower nut securely against the turnbuckle when
clutch lever adjustment is correct.

TRIM TAB

Adjusting
The trim tab counteracts or minimizes propeller torque "pull" felt
through the steering system.
• To compensate for a veer to starboard, set trailing edge of tab
to the right (as viewed from behind).
• To compensate for a veer to port, set trailing edge of tab to
the left.
With a properly adjusted trim tab, steering will be neutral mean-
ing there should be no tendency for the steering to "pull" to ei-
ther port or starboard.
