   Generally self steering like this, with a trim tab can only be used on boats with transom (or aft hung double enders) rudders as the trim tab needs to be mounted directly to and aft of the rudder to produce the desired effect, and of course has to be controlled even as the rudder swings side to side.

3. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

   Trim is the angle of the motor in relation to the hull, as illustrated below. The ideal trim angle is the one in which the boat rides level, with most of the hull on the surface instead of plowing through the water. If the motor is trimmed out too far, the bow will ride too high in the water. With too little trim, the bow rides too low.

   Vertical transom and stern of a modern cargo ship. In some boats and ships, a transom is the aft transverse surface of the hull that forms the stern of a vessel.
