Boat pulls strongly to port side.

Could any one give me some info as to how I can adjust my boat from pulling to the port side. This happens when upon acceleration.

Re: Boat pulls strongly to port side.

Adjust your trim tab. Turn it towards the way its pulling. The trim tab is that fin looking thing mounted on the bottom of the cavitaion plate, just above your prop.

here is a picture of the little fin that Perchin is talking about.
on the top side should be a little plastic plug , down in side is a hex head bolt (5/16") i believe.

If it's not a Merc that bolt could be somewhere else.
