I would think to the right since its pulling to the left. Can you see where its bent to the left any? |

get a Torque tab and put it on the port side of the skeg, or bend skeg to port side. |

Standing at the back of the motor lookin at the prop, they have a torque tab welded to thev left side of the skeg. It still pulls to the left. Ima try and bend it to the left about an inch and see what happens. |

LOL !!!! I don't know why that it always gits somewhat confusin' when tryin' to figures out which side the tab or bend should go !!! I have to put it in a mental picture and move mines mind real slow to put the figure on it !!!!!  Ifin' you awready have the tab on it ..... you might just need to move some wieght 'round a bit. I went thru some tryles tryin' to figure it out and came to conclusion on mines hull is the wieght distributions is more of a factor than the tab or bendin' the skeg. I ..... of course sit on the starboard ... runnin' with light load I git hardly any torque .... put a hogmolly on the port side .... here comes the torque. I thank what really works the bestess ... is when you are sittin' dead in the water ..... balance the load so that it is not listtin' either way or you can let it just a tad bit to the starboard. Hope I have been benifitual to yore thread and I have applied some useful informations to contribute to the success of yore boatin' delima ...... |
