Trim Tab? Pulling right.

[wsroufe]

I am a newbie who just bought a 73 Chrysler Courier 154 with a 90HP Chrysler Outboard. After a few kinks we have had it out twice and it pulls hard right. I have googled my problem and the answer aside from any weight and balance issues seems to be the "trim tab." Can someone help me with a picture?

Bump back. Does anyone have any info on this?

If the motor has a trim tab rear of the propeller you can adjust the pull out of the steering. If it pulls right you move the trim tab to the right. Start with small adjustments.

I guess mine doesn't have a trim tab? Should I move the snorkle?

Re: Trim Tab? Pulling right.

What I am calling trim tab may be what you are calling snorkel. It is a fin sticking down vertical behind the propeller. Mine has a bolt in it to loosen and then you can adjust it slightly from side to side as needed. I am sorry I cannot be of more help. My book only goes back to 1984. I have an old picture of an 85 gear case and it looks like it is called the snout. Is it adjustable. If so you can help your steering.
