    Propeller torque Issues

    19ft bay boat, 150 Opti, boat leans to the left when on the go, is there suppose to be a little fin right on top of the prop to adjust lean..?

    anodes /torque tabs do not adjust boat lean ,most all the newer ones are flat anyway ,tilt mtr up slightly before planning , you can install a shouldered bolt through clamp brkt lowesr hole also should reduce lean

    Does it have a whale tale or anything like that? Does it change when you trim up? Does it lean at all speeds on plane?

    I had a nitro that would try to roll over unless you trimmed up right after getting on plane

    Please take a few moments to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!

    Do you have anything heavy in the left side of the boat?
