Trim Tab - Suzuki DF300 Service Manual

TRIM TAB

The trim tab counteracts or minimizes propeller torque "pull" felt
through the steering system.
If the steering is pulled to starboard or port side, adjust trim tab
with following procedure:
Adjusting
1. Loosen the bolt of trim tab.
2. Change direction of trim tab.
• 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.
3. Tighten the bolt of trim tab.
4. Test ride the boat and repeat the procedure 1 – 3 to set the
trim tab in the best position.
With a properly adjusted trim tab, steering should be neutral and
there should be no tendency for the steering to be pulled to
either port or starboard.
