Trim Tab Adjustment - Honda Marine BF60A Owner's Manual

TRIM TAB ADJUSTMENT

The trim tab compensates for
''torque steer,'' which is a reaction of
the outboard motor to propeller
rotation.
If uncompensated, torque steer would
make the outboard motor tend to turn
to one side.
When the trim tab is correctly
adjusted, steering effort is equal in
either direction.
If steering effort is unequal, remove
the gear case grommet (BFP60A
models) and loosen the trim tab bolt
and adjust the angle of the trim tab.
Retighten the trim tab bolt securely.
Reinstall the gear case grommet
(BFP60A models).
