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.
