When making a turn, if an unequal
amount of effort is required to turn
the steering wheel or tiller handle
right or left, adjust the trim tab so
that an equal amount of effort is
required.
Distribute the load evenly in the boat
and run the boat in straight course at
full throttle. Slightly turn the steering
wheel or tiller handle for both right
and left turns to determine if an equal
amount of effort is required. If adjust-
ment is necessary loosen the tighten-
ing bolt and turn the trim tab right or
left. Make small adjustments at a
time and retest. Incorrect trim tab
adjustment can cause adverse steering.
The trim tab also functions as an anode.
