    Boat Pulling

    My boat is pulling to the right. I've turned the little fin above the propeller both ways and it still pulls to the right. Need help. Thanks

    How is your gear loaded in your boat? You might have to move some stuff around to balance out the load.

    What kind of boat, size of motor? Are you trimming it out properly? Keep trimming up as you pick up speed, there should be a sweet spot where the torque let's loose.

    Normal due to rotational forces of the prop..that fin turned to the right helps when getting up on plane...but on a properly set up rig will be out of the water on pad....as was said above work the up trim until you feel the torque in the wheel loosen and then just bump up or down from there....
