Just bought a new 2012 Excel Stalker 2172 with a CC. It has a 90 HP Mercury optimax on the back and I have taken it out on the water twice. First time I took it out if was extremely difficult to turn left when traveling. So I brought it to the dealership for them to adjust the fin for me. The next day I took it out and it was still very difficult to turn left. That evening I adjusted the fin the rest of the way allowable which was only "one click" more. That was Sunday so I have not been able to bring it out to see if this will fix it, but I don't think it will. It is very dangerous as is because of the many sharp turns I take to get from where I put in and travel to get to the bay.
I have to bring it in today for them to install the trolling motor that was thrown in with the purchase so I am going to ask them to drive the boat on their private pond and see what they can do to make it steer correctly.
Is my 21'-7" boat too much for a 90 HP engine? Is there anything else the dealership can do to fix this problem other than installing power steering or something? Either way, they are going to have to fix it or something for free or they will be taking this boat back.
