Adjusting the stabilizer fin

[thunderroad]

I know it's been discussed at great lengths here and I swear I've tried the search feature, but, someone please tell me again...which way do I adjust the fin? My boat pulls a little to the right when I turn loose of the wheel. I can trim to a position where it's not excessive but it's stil there.
69 Formula F-190 Merc 160. 19'6" and no hydrofoil.

Re: Adjusting the stabilizer fin

You shouldn't have to remove the hydrofoils to adjust the angle. You just need to turn it, not take it off.
Allen wrench thru the top of the upper, under the cap. It just loosens the bolt. Turn the tab to where you want it and retighten the bolt.
Go a little at a time till you get where you want.
