Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Hi again,<br /><br />There is something that has never been explained to me. There is a small, I'll call it a rudder just above the propeller with settings from 1 - 5.<br />Can someone tell me what this does.<br /><br />Thanks,
I think I have the same thing on my 94 Volvo SX. It's like a small fin that can swivel. If I remember right, it counteracts prop torque that skews the boat to one side.
That is your trim tab and it is there to help you equalize the steering effort you feel.If you have power steering it is ornamental.If you do'nt have p.s. and you find your steering much more difficult, say to the right , then loosen that tab and move the back of it to the right.Same thing the other way around.This looks like but is not a rudder and is only there to equalize prop torque at the helm.
