Refer to the tachometer when using
the throttle and power trim/tilt
controls to achieve the best
performance from the boat.
The tachometer shows engine speed
in revolutions per minute.
When the trim tab is correctly
adjusted (p.
), steering effort is
equal in either direction.
If uncompensated, torque steer would
make the outboard motor tend to turn
to one side.
The trim tab compensates for
‘‘torque steer’’, which is a reaction of
the outboard motor to propeller
rotation.
The trim meter indicates the relative
trim angle of the outboard motor.
Refer to the trim meter when using
the power trim/tilt switch to achieve
the best performance from the boat.
