Trim Tab For 1985 Mercury 150 Black Max?

Question

I was helping my friend change his water pump on this engine and while putting it back together I noticed his trim tab had no adjustment to it and I asked him about it and he said that while out on the lake one day he lost his trim tab and this is what they said fit his boat motor and since he replaced it he noticed that the boat motor pulls to the right , I have never seen a trim tab that couldn't be adjusted did they give him the wrong one.?

Answer 1

Sure sounds that way Denis, it might be a cheap after-

-market one. Take it back and get the original manufactures part for it, just might fix that pulling problem.

Maybe ask him if the boat pulled before the lost trim tab.

Answer 2

There are a couple different tabs for this motor. Even the aftermarket ones should fit properly.  Something sounds off.  drop by a dealer and ask him to take a look.  This should be an easy fix.
