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:
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.

position. Rotate the tilt  limiter cam — pull its
tab forward and  up to REDUCE the  amount
of tilt UP.
Check  your adjustment  — tilt  the  outboard
