ADJUSTMENTS
Trim Tab
Tilt Limiter Cam
If your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well
while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit maxi-
mum tilt-up:
WARNING
Improper trim tab adjustment can cause dif-
ficult steering.
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 re-
lieve steering effort under only one set of speed,
motor angle and load conditions. No single adjust-
ment can relieve steering effort under all speed,
motor angle and load conditions. If the boat pulls to
the left or right when its load is evenly distributed,
adjust the trim tab as follows:
Place the outboard in its normal operating position.
Rotate the tilt limiter cam — pull its tab forward and
up to REDUCE the amount of tilt UP.
With the motor shut OFF, loosen the trim tab
screw. If the boat pulled to the right, move the rear
of the trim tab slightly to the right. If the boat pulled
to the left, move the rear of the trim tab slightly to
the left.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully and
adjust further, if necessary. Return the outboard to
vertical position for each adjustment, and repeat
your check after each adjustment.
WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will NOT pre-
vent the outboard from tilting fully and con-
tacting the motor well if the gearcase hits an
object at high speed. Such contact could
damage the outboard and boat and injure
boat occupants.
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 35-40 ft.
lbs. (47-54 N·m).
Test the boat and, if needed, repeat the procedure
until steering effort is as equal as possible.
High motor installations — The trim tab might
be above the water when the motor is trimmed out.
Steering effort might increase. Steering effort will
be reduced if you trim the motor in and submerge
the trim tab.
Dual standard rotation motors — Move
trim tabs equally and in the same direction.
both
Dual motors (one counter and one standard ro-
tation) — Set both trim tabs to the center position.
