ADJUSTMENTS
Idle RPM in Gear
The idle RPM in gear setting can be adjusted,
if desired, to provide more idle control, steer-
ing, and quietness in certain applications.
IMPORTANT: Only your Dealer can adjust
the idle RPM in gear setting.
Trim Tab
WARNING
Improper
trim tab adjustment can
cause difficult steering.
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 pro-
cedure until steering effort is as equal as pos-
sible.
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.
High outboard installations — The
trim
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 ef-
fort under all speed, outboard 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:
tab might be above the water when the out-
board is trimmed out. Steering effort might in-
crease. Steering effort will be reduced if you
trim the outboard in and submerge the trim
tab.
With the outboard 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.
