Hey Everybody,
I asked this question about 10 years ago and don't remember the answer, , or maybe something changed since then.
So my boat is a Lund Tyee 1950 IO/Alpha One Gen 2 drive. When in forward gear at idle the if I don't counter steer the boat will basically turn right and left all on it's own and eventually would totally go off course.
10 Years ago I had a 1750 Tyee with an Alpha one which did the same thing.
My boat prior to my current boat was a Tyee 1850 but with a Volvo Duo Prop. That thing went straight as an arrow at idle and wouldn't deviate from course at all. My guess is because of the counter rotating props.
The question is - is there an adjustment or something that would help keep the boat going in a straight line at idle or is this an anomaly common to IO's. Never had this problem with boats with outboards. What gives?
Thanks!
