I just look under my L/U and noticed that my trim tab is missing..Would me not having this let water in my lower unit??? The trim tab is located right above my prop??
Re: This is a weird discovery, but yet so simple?!?!
If the boat steers OK, not needed. No, zero water will get in the L/U. BUT, some doubled as anodes, but if ya don't leave it in the water, again no problem
Re: This is a weird discovery, but yet so simple?!?!
Depending on what model motor you have, some E / J models have a tab with a water passage in the tab. It adds water to the exhaust to cool it just before it goes thru the exhaust. That helps keep the prop hub cool.
