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-
justing the trim tab.
If the boat tends to veer to the left (port side),
turn the trim tab rear end to the port side "A" in
the figure. If the boat tends to veer to the right
(starboard side), turn the trim tab end to the
starboard side "B" in the figure.
