1979 AMF Crestliner Muskie 550 14' (maybe 15', can't remember now) tri-hull
1978 Evi 70hp 20" gearcase
Boat always pulls right. I read up on that and adjusted the trim tab as far as it would go to the right, maybe 30 degrees, but still have to fight to keep it straight. Modifying the trim tab to be either longer or deeper may help. Another option is grind down the 'stops' cast into the trim tab allowing it to rotate further to the right. At some point there will be diminishing returns, though. 3 people aboard last night and I was driving, wife next to me and had my daughter move to different positions in the boat but that didn't make a difference.
Any other tips and tricks up your collective sleeves?
Thanks tons!
