Look under the AV plate just behind the prop. There should be an adjustable fin there if its pulling right loosen it and turn it right then retest until you get it set right.

Completely normal. A motor will typically pull hard to the right when trimmed less than neutral and will pull to the left when trimmed more than neutral.

Find your engines best trim angle. Then, adjust the trim tab so that the right and left turn effort is the same at that angle.

If you trim downward from best trim angle then the boat will turn easier to the right. If you trim upward from best trim angle then the boat will turn easier to the left.

Thanks for the info, I haven't been to the boat yet .The confusion for me is I had a pontoon with a 90 merc and never had any issues with the steering pulling one direction or the other, hard to turn. I'll keep this in mind.
