Re: my boat is leaning
I can't see any trim fin on the anode in the picture, but then again its hard to see, so I'll take your word for it. If it doesn't look like the one in the picture riptorn posted (minus the little notch cut out to clear the prop), then either its broken off, was cut/filed down to clear a prop, or is just that worn down (unlikely given the look of the outdrive, but possible I suppose). Either way, if you don't have power steering, there should be an anode with a trim tab on that outdrive I would think.
I would replace it (they are cheap), adjust it accordingly, and see if it helps your situation. If the standard one wont clear the prop you have on there now, Quicksilver makes one that offsets the fin itself farther back on the drive to clear larger pitch and diameter props.
