Default trim tab vane setting

Nah..no schematic needed here.

Boat goes to Port...
You want it to go straight..
Point the tab to Port.
OK here.

I accept that I did indeed need another coffee before my reply yesterday.
And at one point I said "outdrive" when I meant "trim tab," for example.

So, everyone agree on this? Boat pulls to port. Want to have it self-steer
more to starboard (to go "straight"). Require swinging (trailing edge of)
outdrive to starboard. That requires turning trailing edge of trim tab to
port. That is _clockwise_ when viewed from above - I am going to be

stubborn
about that. Would a schematic help?
