Post tiller torque question???
I have a 36 PD on a 1654 lakesport boat. My question is, will a worn prop cause excessive tiller torque? I noticed last weekend a little more tiller torque than normal i was just curriouse.

Trimming low causes dat. Trimming high may at times but usually gets "squirrelly" then.

Too high and the prop will try to walk on the water causing the torque

A worn prop don't create more torque no matter where's its trimmed. I just put on a new one and forgot how much bite it has.

Offset the motor 1" away from driver if you are that worried about, all these motors have tiller torque
