Hi folks, first post here.
I have recently acquired a 1992 Bayliner Capri. When driving the boat pulls to the right more than the few other boats I have driven. The trim does not have much effect. I have adjusted the trim tab to both sides and it has little effect. So a few questions:
The skeg is bent a little bit to the left, looking from the rear. Think this is the problem? I have posted a picture.
The prop has seen better days, could that have any effect?
Could the hydrofoil effect the steering?
My plan is to remove the hydrofoil and see if that helps. Then I will put on the new prop when I get it and see what that does. If that does not work I was thinking of trying to bend the skeg back.
