Thanks for the informative video, Mike. The setting of the tab is a little counter-intuitive. The immediate thought I had with my steering pulling to starboard was to set the tab so that the trailing edge of it was aiming to port. When thinking a bit harder on this I thought the opposite was the way to go. After a while smoke started coming out of my ears!! Thanks for clarifying. In conclusion: Steering wheel pulls to starboard, then the trailing edge of the tab should be offset to starboard.

Very informative, thanks a lot. I followed your instructions, exactly. Complete success in less than ten minutes. It is like having power steering after months of wrestling the wheel.

Thanks for posting this. Mine was doing the same thing and my trim tab was off center slighting to the left. Did you leave it dead center to fix the issue? Thanks

Power steering/ hydraulic steering clears that up too

A 1 minute intro is excessive. A 1 minute intro on a 3 and a half minute video is obnoxious. Which is a shame, because it's an informative video.

Hi there, my Tracker with Evinrude 110HP is doing the same thing. Did that fix the issue?

Good vid and quick guide. Side note is that is an anode as well dealing with the electrolysis in the waters. Found that out the hard way.
