Default Torque Tab

Does anyone have experience using a torque tab on their outboard? I have an old 1980 Merc 200hp Black Max and experience significant steering wheel pull due to the outboard prop rotation. Last year I pulled the zinc trim tab in an effort to turn it to compensate for the prop torque, but it did not appear that it could be rotated, no torque adjustment. I have adjusted the zinc tabs on other outboards. Maybe this one doesn't have an adjustment since it is as old as dirt (?).

I found a torque tab on the TH Marine website. Here is a website link: https://thmarinesupplies.com/product...roduct-reviews

I am concerned about a steering cable failure when cruising and turning - send me into a crazy turn and a lot of trouble.
