Trim Indicator Issue
 
Put brand new trim indicator in Apache when redid and one side shows way down from other but boat runs flat and tabs look same on hoist. Can these be adjusted to equal out indicator.

tks

Got pics? I had to replace all of my cables for the trim and the tab indicators. The trim had to be adjusted since they were spring loaded. Basically, I put the motors all the way out, connected the indicator line, and then it was showing correct on the dash when I put the engines all the way in or out.

For me to adjust mine, it was basically loosening two hose clamp type devices and tightening when they were set correctly on the out drives.

Is the indicator for the drives or tabs? I am a little confused. Both are adjustable, but the procedure is different for both.

Tabs are different, but a bit easier in most cases.

If I recall this is a #6 boat, if so there are no external rams to adjust like a bravo
