Trim Tab
Tilt Limiter Cam
If your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well while tilting,
adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit maximum tilt-up.
WARNING
Improper trim tab adjustment can cause difficult
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 relieve
steering effort under only one set of speed, outboard angle
and load conditions. No single adjustment can relieve
steering effort 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.
Place the outboard in its normal operating position. Rotate
the tilt limiter cam — pull its tab forward and up to RE-
DUCE the amount of tilt UP.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully and adjust
further, if necessary. Return the outboard to vertical posi-
tion for each adjustment, and repeat your check after each
adjustment.
WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will NOT prevent the
outboard from tilting fully and contacting 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 47 to 54 N·m. (35
to 40 ft. lbs.).
Test the boat and, if needed, repeat the procedure until
steering effort is as equal as possible.
High outboard installations — The trim tab might be
above the water when the outboard is trimmed out. Steer-
ing effort might increase. Steering effort will be reduced if
you trim the outboard in and submerge the trim tab.
Dual standard rotation outboards — Move both trim
tabs equally and in the same direction.
Dual outboards (one counter and one standard rota-
tion) — Set both trim tabs to the center position.

Marine readers have rated 2010 Evinrude 115 130 150 175 200 hp E-TEC PL PX SL BX HL HX CX MX Outboard Owners Manual 1.0 out of 1.0 based on 1 product reviews. OWNER OF A 2010 E-TEC 130 HP ON A WELD-CRAFT 18 FT BASS BOAT. A TOTAL WASTE OF GOOD MONEY. E-TEC IS THE WORST MOTOR ON THE MARKET. MINE OVERHEATS AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD TOW LINE IF YOU DECIDE TO BUY ONE.
