Hello,
The last 3 weekends I took my boat out to try and fix my steering. It pulls to the right due to the props rotation. My trim tab was center line and it took all I had to keep the wheel straight. I moved the rear of the trim tab to the left which angled it right. Just to verify, if I am behind the boat looking at the motor, the trim tab should angled starboard? When I did this it helped a little bit, Trimmed up the motor and that helped a little bit. But still if I let go of the wheel, the boat will do tight circles. Equivalent to a muscle car doing donuts in a parking lot. The previous owner somehow knocked of the skeg and there isn't much left. If I get this repaired will it make a difference?
Any help would be great,
Tom
