Curious why there is no trim tab above the prop on the underside of the cav plate like one would typically see on an outboard? There s a threaded hole but nothing there and it does not look like there is room for one anyhow.

Hydraulic Steering is usually used (even on the 4 cylinder)... so a trim tab is not needed.

Thanks just making sure.
So I added a Sea Star hydraulic steering to my previous boat with the 115 Merc 4s. This had a tab. Is there benefit to removing this tab since it is apparently unnescessary?
You can remove the tab and replace with a flat-anode, when Hydraulic Steering is in use.
