Notes
● The trim tab also acts as an anode
to prevent electrolytic corrosion.
Therefore do not paint or grease
this part.
● After adjustment securely tighten
the trim tab fixing bolt.
● Check for looseness of the bolt and
the trim tab at regular intervals.
Notes
Due to corrosion, the trim tab will
wear down over time.
The trim tab should be replaced when
it has eroded 2/3 of it's regular size.
