ADJUSTMENTS
Idle RPM in Gear
High outboard installations — The
trim
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.
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.
Dual standard rotation outboards —
Move both trim tabs equally and in the same
direction.
Trim Tab
Dual outboards (one counter and one
standard rotation) — Set both trim tabs to
the center position.
WARNING
Improper trim tab adjustment can
cause difficult steering.
Tilt Limiter Cam
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.
If your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well
while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit
maximum tilt-up.
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.
Place the outboard in its normal operating
position.
Rotate the tilt limiter cam — pull its tab for-
ward and up to REDUCE the amount of tilt
UP.
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard
fully and adjust further, if necessary. Return
the outboard to vertical position for each ad-
justment, and repeat your check after each
adjustment.
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.
