i just got a geaux skiff with a short transom, well i have a tall transom motor raised up to make the difference. the boat runs good with the motor but has a tracking problem, in order to go straight i have to push the motor away from me like im making a right turn and you can see that the motor is turned but i have to do this to make the boat go straight. if i make the motor straight then it goes left. the motor is centered on the boat, it may be off 1/4" MAYBE. which way do i bend the skeg on the motor if im standing behind the motor? left or right?

Try trimming down too. Getting more prop in the water may help

Mine does the same thing when the boat is empty. the motor was perfectly center and holes were already drilled so i just deal with it.

THIS MIGHT SOUND CRAZY BUT MY MOTOR WAS PUSHING AGAINST ME AND IT WAS CENTERED I MOVED IT ABOUT 3/4" FROM CENTER AND IT GOT RID OF MY PROBLEM
