    03 triton tx20

    This might be a dumb question but last night was the first time I took the boat out alone. My wife always fishes with me but last night she could not make it so I went alone. Here is the problem. Once the nose dropped out of the hole, the boat wants to roll to the right even on pad. It almost feels like the boat has way too much weight on the drivers side but I have actually more weight on the pass side. I'm running a 25 tempest plus with a 10" atlas jackplate. Kinda freakd me out running the dark. I never had a boat do this, seems like the prop is got too much bite and is rotating the boat to the right. Am I missing something here? Sorry it's a 225 opti

    I did trim it out, I even tied putting my foot down and getting it up in speed with it trimmed up. It still wanted to roll badly to the right. Once it came off pad and started coming to a stop, it hooked sharply to the right. This is not my first rig, I have been in many but never had one do this.

    Yeah id say its most likely out of balance. Could also have your prop checked. Just in case it is warped.
