My bullet pulls hard to the right... if I have an adult passenger it will drive straight as an arrow. I’m running a bravo prop. I’ve shifted as much weight to the passgener side as I possibly can and still doesn’t affect it. Really making the boat not fun to drive at all! Could it be my prop?
What boat, mota, lower unit and ptp measurement?

95 21xdc 2008 250 pro xs. Lower is a fleet master I believe
I’m 1/4” above on my jacklate
With 25#+ of water pressure
Sounds like the motor is too high for that gearcase and no torque tab.

Would a torq tab make much diiference? With it being so high?
It’s a gen 1 torq master I think? I tried to solve this issue when I bought the motor lol nobody can tell me for sure what it is! It’s a fat shaft

That combo should be between 1/2"-3/4" below.
So I need to sell my LU....
Which lower would you guys recommend
No lower your jackplate to 1/2 or 3/4" BELOW pad. But honestly I don't see you having 25psi above pad with a gen 1 tm
Yeah but if I lower I’m gonna lose my speed. How much will a bobs set me back?
It’s bumping 80 with 2 adults, all my gear and tackle and 1/4 tank of gas
Gotta be measuring wrong. Can’t see that gear case running above....

By pulls to the right do you mean it lifts the passenger side higher ? Or the boat actually steering to the right ??
Yep, I have this problem often. I think my concrete floor is sloped well I know it is.Originally Posted by crank68
It steers so hard to the right you can’t really drive it. You’ve gotta put all your weight into it
Ya, I am with crank here. Need to get the height correct first. If you have cable steering, torque may always be somewhat problematic.
People run those lowers all the time with no issues. Try a different prop and see how she does.
So I have another question... I’ve heard these lowers can’t hold up when speeds reach over 80... if I have a bobs nose cone put on it will I be able to run it hard?
