That's what the trim tab on your engine's lower unit is for. Sounds like it's adjusted a bit too far to the port side. Realize that when adjusting the trim tab there's only going to be one speed range where it perfectly balances out, normally you'd set it up for your cruising speed.

Is your set up a no feedback system?
I had the same problem a couple of years ago on mine, tab did nothing for me no matter what position it was in......... Turned out I needed a new no feed back steering system. <----- of course yours could be a simple adjustment. Good luck;)

yeah so i looked it is a no feed back system and i greased the **** out of it but when i turn the sterring on the trailer it seems dry coming out of the sterring arms on the motor like the new grease i put in not touching it ?
