mercruiser steering problems
I have 1984 wellcraft withouy power steering, the boat pulls hard to the right, the faster the more it pulls,my trim tab is clocked as far to the right as possible. Any advise would be great.
Thank you

Turn the tab straight back. If it goes right then put the tab to the left. Takes a little experimentation.

Re: mercruiser steering problems
You are correct in turning it to the right (in the same direction as the pull) so now trim your motor up a bit and the different attack angle of the prop blades (compare left to right) should neutralise the steering.
