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.
Due to corrosion, the trim tab will
wear down over time.
