WARNING
An improperly adjusted trim tab could
cause difficult steering. Always test run af-
ter the trim tab has been installed or re-
placed to be sure steering is correct. Be
sure you have tightened the bolt after ad-

force.

(starboard side), turn the trim tab end to the
starboard side "B" in the figure.

corrosion. Never paint the trim tab as it will
become ineffective as an anode.
