X ADJUSTMENTS
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.
Friction
Trim Tab
WARNING
Improper  trim  tab   adjustment  can
cause difficult steering.
1
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 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:
2
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 out-
board with the steering  handle. If adjustment
is necessary, turn the adjustment screw:
Clockwise to increase friction; or
Counterclockwise to decrease friction.
WARNING
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 35-40
ft. lbs. (47-54 N·m). Test the boat and, if need-
ed, repeat the  procedure until steering  effort
is as equal as possible.
DO NOT overtighten for “hands-off”
steering.  Reduced  steering  control
could result.
