BTW, the trim tab needs to be adjusted to offset the steering torque

That my friend makes a lot of sound advice. The boat does have some big a** trim tabs.
I guess you use them when travelling in a straight line, right? Turning with the tabs lower in the water wouldmake it more difficult, correct?
I replaced the engine myself last year and a friend said that I should have it sent in for exact alignment.
One other thing... there is a tab above the prop which has very much disintigrated. How important is this part?
BTW, thanks for your quick advice.
