ADJUSTMENTS
Idle RPM in Gear
Friction
The idle RPM in gear setting can be adjusted, if desired, to
provide more idle control, steering, and quietness in certain
applications.
IMPORTANT: Only your Dealer can adjust the idle RPM in
gear setting.
Trim Tab
1
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.

Throttle friction screw
Steering friction screw
Throttle Friction — Adjust until a slight drag is felt when
accelerating or decelerating only. DO NOT overtighten.
Steering Friction — The steering friction was set on
your outboard at the factory. A slight drag should be felt
when turning the outboard with the steering handle. If ad-
justment is necessary, turn the adjustment screw:
•
•
Clockwise to increase friction; or
Counterclockwise to decrease friction.
WARNING
DO NOT overtighten for “hands-off” steering.
Reduced steering control could result.
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 47-54 N·m (35-
40
ft. lbs.). Test the boat and, if needed, repeat the proce-
dure 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.
