Inboard / Outboard 1987 Winner with 200hp Mercruiser Question
Does anybody know what those things are called that attach to the outboard trim that help assist in trimming the boat easier?

Re: Inboard / Outboard 1987 Winner with 200hp Mercruiser Question
No they are meant to correct steering bias. You might want to check your trim limit switch position in the fully down position but more experienced power boaters will chime in at some point and point you in the right direction.
