ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a marine propulsion device comprising a lower unit, a swivel bracket on the lower unit adapted for connecting the lower unit to the transom of a boat for steering movement about a steering axis, a steering control on the lower unit adapted for steerably displacing the lower unit about the steering axis relative to a fore and aft position, a trim tab mounted on the lower unit rearwardly of the steering axis for pivotal movement relative to a position aligned fore and aft with the lower unit, and a linkage connected to the trim tab and responsive to pivotal steering displacement of the lower unit for pivotally displacing the trim tab relative to the lower unit in the same pivotal direction as steering displacement of the lower unit.
