I had to buy a trim tab locally. Snapped the old one trying to torque to specified amount. Not gonna make that mistake again.
The old one was traditional zinc construction. Heavy.
West Marine had nothing but aluminum. Very lightweight.
Marine supply store had oem Yamaha tab. Medium weight. Looks like some sort of alloy. This is the one I purchased.
Tou could see the old zinc slowly deteriorate trip after trip. It would develop pits. I assumed it was protecting the motor.
5-6 trips on the new one and nothing. Not one tiny pit.
Anybody else use Yam oem tabs?
