The Torque Tab by TH Marine helps reduce or eliminate steering torque caused by the propeller rotation and transom height.
 
A torq tab on a high-performance or racing outboard boat improves speed and handling by addressing the issue of prop torque or steering torque. Here’s how:
 
Reduces Steering Torque: The torq tab offsets the rotational force generated by the propeller, making steering easier and more balanced at high speeds. This helps to reduce the boat’s tendency to pull to one side, also known as prop walk.
 
Enhances Handling and Stability: By minimizing steering resistance, the torq tab improves the boat's maneuverability during aggressive movements like sharp turns or cornering. This is crucial in high-speed situations where precision is key.
 
Increases Efficiency and Speed: Reducing drag caused by prop torque leads to more efficient engine operation, which can result in increased top speed and overall performance. The reduced resistance allows the outboard motor to deliver its full potential.
Reduces Driver Fatigue: By alleviating the constant need for steering correction, the torq tab reduces driver fatigue, especially during extended high-speed runs, improving control and endurance.
 
In competitive racing setups, a properly adjusted torq tab provides a noticeable improvement in speed, control, and fuel efficiency, making it a key component for optimizing performance.
 
These should be installed by a professional welder, although there is a provision to install fastners for boats under 50 mph.
