 Need a little help with tiller torq I just got my boat 1654 gtb w/ 35gtr the skeg is already bent a little to the left but there is still quite a bit of torq. The tiller handle pushes into me. Should I bend it a little more or what's the next option to fix it?

Re: Need a little help with tiller torq Leave like it is for now. Try adjusting the weight in the boat.

Re: Need a little help with tiller torq After rearranging the weight in the boat & it not helping, bend it some more.

Re: Need a little help with tiller torq Bend it more anyway they aren't bent that much to kill it all but mostly man up it's not that bad.

Re: Need a little help with tiller torq I left mine just so the tiller handle pushes slightly towards the starboard side of the boat. Then when I'm running I just let the tiller rest against my leg. When I first got the boat it pushed against my leg so hard it left a really bad bruise. After a little adjustment it is perfect and didn't affect the performance.

Re: Need a little help with tiller torq Yea I just had to nut up and get nasty with it today but it's pretty stiff I might have to bend it a little more tho cause its a open hull and the gas is on the opposite side from me so I can't shift much more weight around
