Prop is not inline with boat. I would say about 20-25 degrees to one side. Only does it with the boat is on plane about 16.5 mph 14' modified v Picture shows were shaft is on plane. |

it needs a skeg that is angled to offset the torque. Most surface drives have them. I would strongly suggest having one fabbed for your motor, it will help the torque and protect your prop a lot better. |

Had one on it. I thought maybe it was mounted wrong,so I removed it to see what would happen. It did the same thing. |
