PREDELIVERY

WATER TEST AND FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

Trim Tab Adjustment

A propeller will generate steering torque when the

propeller shaft is not running parallel to the water’s

surface. The trim tab is adjustable to compensate

for this steering torque.

IMPORTANT: A single trim tab adjustment will

relieve steering effort under only one set of speed,

outboard angle and load conditions. No single

adjustment can relieve steering effort under all

conditions.

If the boat pulls to the left or right when its load is

evenly distributed, adjust the trim tab as follows:

• With the remote control in NEUTRAL and the

engine OFF, loosen the trim tab screw.

• If the boat pulled to the right, move rear of the

trim tab slightly to the right.

• If the boat pulled to the left, move rear of the

trim tab slightly to the left.

Tighten the trim tab screw as follows:

• 40 – 300 HP: 35 to 40 ft. lbs. (47 to 54 N·m).

• 15 – 30 HP: 60 to 80 in. lbs. (7 to 9 N·m).

Test the boat and, if needed, repeat the procedure

until steering effort is as equal as possible.

Outboards with High Transom Heights

The trim tab may be above the surface of the

water when the outboard is trimmed out. Steering

effort might increase. Lower the trim setting to

submerge the trim tab and to reduce steering

effort.

Dual Standard Rotation Outboards

Move both trim tabs equally and in the same

direction.

Dual Outboards, One Counter and One

Standard Rotation

Set both trim tabs to the center position.

WARNING

Improper trim tab adjustment can cause

difficult steering and loss of control.
