Barry,
ILLOGICAL GGC is correct the tab is only a safety device. Check your manual under the "Maintenance Section-Transporting and storing outboard motor" page 37 in the 2005 F75D & F90D Yami manual. There is a statement that reads; "CAUTION: Do not use the tilt support lever or knob when trailering the boat. The outboard motor could shake loose from the tilt support and fall. If the motor cannot be trailered in the normal running position, use an additional support device to secure it in the tilt position."
I have attached a picture of the one I recently purchased at West Marine. It is # 9316902.
Hope this helps,
