Trim Tab Adjustment - TOHATSU BFT 60A Owner's Manual

Trim Tab Adjustment

The trim tab is provided to adjust for
"torque steer" which is a reaction of
the propeller rotation or propeller
torque. If during a high speed turn an
unequal amount of effort is required
to turn the boat right or left, adjust the
trim tab so that an equal amount of
effort is required.
Distribute the load evenly in the boat
and run the boat in a straight course at
full throttle. Slightly turn the steering
wheel/handle for both right and left
turns to determine the amount of
effort required.
