1980 Silverline with a 470 Mercruiser that pulls to port. Should I adjust the trim tab anode to correct this? and how much in which direction.
I know it's a simple question, but I'm new.

The trailing edge of the trim tab should go to the side that you are pulling to...in your case, port.

Here is what it should look like after adjusting...although you might want to start with a smaller angle.
