🔌 Function

The trim tab anode protects the gear housing from galvanic corrosion and can be adjusted to help reduce propeller steering torque.

Common signs of failure:

• Anode worn more than halfway

• Drive corrosion or pitting

• Anode painted over or missing

• Steering torque correction lost after service

• Mounting bolt seized or corroded

• Annual anode replacement required
