Can anyone please tell me which way to turn the trib tab (if standing behind the boat)on a 135hp Merc. to lessen the amount of right hand pull on the steering wheel.<br /><br />Also, how far should it be turned to get the correct setting.

Mine is cranked over pretty good... set by the dealer.. should I reset it to a slighty more centerline position. Standing at the rear of the boat looking at the out drive it is towards the left a good bit.

C17, don't mess with it unless your boat is pulling one way or the other.<br /><br />That's why it is adjustable.

Re: Trib Tab Adjustment help

you guys...depending on how high your motor is mounted, the tab will do absolutely nothing....most new stuff comes with a flat plate..no fin..no adjustment.... that being said, you move the aft end of the fin in the direction of pull....
