Guest Jocool Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Just a reminder...you don't have to move that tab too much! Do it in very small increments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inked Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 reminder: Make sure you mark the tab so if it doesnt work you can put it back where it was! 71487[/snapback] good idea it is off set to the left at the moment, should it be dead straight?

Grantm Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Gday Inked, You may want to play with the trim of the motor first. I have been in many boats that pull right and it has been caused from the motor being lowered all the way down until it stops. This is not always the best postion, in fact it rarely is the best position. The effect is worse the faster you go and is noticeable from about half throttle, and based on the direction of the prop and the tilt of the motor will cause it to pull right and also load the motor up quiet badly. I suggest that when it is pulling you raise the motor bit by bit and see if it straightens up. The revs should also raise if this is the problem as the motor will be under less load. You will find the nose of the boat will ride slighlty higher and smoother too. Maybe do this before playing with the tab. It should be sitting pretty straight too. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
