    Most of the time the trim tab runs out of the water after you running hard anyway.... I would jack the motor a little...... What jackplate/prop/boat you run?

    Your motor could be to high or low on the back of the boat or if your prop has damage it could be slipping.

    You can add a torque tab in the normal place or you can get one that mounts to the side of the skeg.

    That could help, if you are under trimmed it would also pull right.
