    Default Trim Tab


    Bought a Tracker deep v and noticed it pulled pretty hard to the right on plane when you turned loose of the wheel. Noticed trim tab as set left and adjusted it all the way to the right. Boat still pulls pretty sharp to the right. Any other suggestions. Thanks

    Trim tabs work the exact opposite as a rudder. Usually it only takes just a little adjustment to take the pull out. Start with it straight then adjust it to the right about 1/8th inch at a time until the pull is gone. Also make sure the motor is mounted at the right height. The anti cavitation plate should be even with the bottom of the boat and the motor should not be tilted sideways any at all.

    Should be a sweet spot in trim position up and down that will even out steering torque ,

    Yea you move the trim tab the direction the boat is pulling. If that doesnt solve the pulling check to see if the engine is set at negative trim angle.
