Steering Torque

[1530dean]

Hi Guys,

Back on the subject of reducing the steering torque on my 4 meter tinnie.

Assuming the prop fin is set correctly can anyone tell me if lowering the engine should reduce the steering torque or increase it..?

There is this article on the net pasted below which happens to state that raising the engine should improve the steering torque but from my understanding it should make it worse due to there being less prop fin action..?

In my early days I lift my outboard for crusing and drop it for sking and had no trouble with toque steer . From memory it was each time I  changed props which we did quite regularly as well.

Hope this helps
