Re: TRIM TAB ANOIDE
i have yamaha 200's and because of the saltwater i put never seaze on every bolt, on the motors and boat and have never had one come loose. the never seaze helps lubricate the threads so you get a little extra tightening as well.

Re: TRIM TAB ANOIDE
Thanks guys for all the impute. I went to a Yamaha yesterday and picked up my 3 trim tab in 6 months. Talked to the guy at the desk and he said you should put a Lot of mussel behind putting one on. I think I will try a combo of all three ideas damage the threads approx ½ way up just a little bit, but extra mussel behind it hopping I don’t strip the Zink’s softer metal and maybe put a little tab of lock tight approx ½ the way up the threads so I still get a good grounding effect of the Zink and the bolt.

Re: TRIM TAB ANOIDE
Loc-tite is good with a lock washer, but never-seize turns into "always-seized" aka permanent epoxy after a few months in saltwater if the boat is kept in the water. I don't know why. I do know that I've had to torch a whole lot of lower units over the years to get them off so I could change the impellors.
