ABSTRACT:
A marine drive (20) has a trim tab (50) with a flair (56) on one side (58) thereof at an upper portion (52). When the drive is trimmed in, the flair is unshrouded by the anti-ventilation plate (34) and diverts mainstream water flow therearound, which produces a force on the other side (62) of the trim tab opposite the flair which conteracts steering torque. In another embodiment, a variable compensation flair (72) is provided.
