What does the trim tab do? How do you know where to set it? Curious because a log on our nasty lake broke mine off... I need to know how to set it when the new one gets here. I would assume it keeps the boat running straight? It also split the left side of the above the trim tab bout an inch in... Jb weld do the job? Haha

Set it in the center to start with and take the boat out and run it. If the steering wants to pull to the right move the tab to the right and vice versa.
