Trim Tab Adjustment

The trim tab counteracts or minimizes propeller torque
pull felt through the steering system.
If the steering is pulls to the starboard or port side, adjust
the trim tab with the following procedure.
1) Loosen the trim tab bolt (1).
2) Changing the trim tab setting.
• To compensate for a veer to starboard, set the
trailing edge of tab (2) to the right (as viewed from
behind).
• To compensate for a veer to port, set the trailing
edge of tab to the left.

3) Tighten the bolt of trim tab.
4) Test drive 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.
