One thing I forgot to mention, and this may not be completely accurate, but to my knowledge, the first use of an adjustable torque fin on an outboard gearcase appears to be that of the Johnson Tilting Stern Drive. The Johnson P series in 1927 started using a torque fin (they called it an equalizer) on their gearcases but they were not adjustable. The fin on the Tilting Stern Drive is adjustable. You can see it on Greg’s picture.
