have a '85 searay 255 amberjack with twin 3.8L OMC's, my problem is that my port drive always cavitates especially when turning. as far a trim, both drives are trimmed all the way down (i have also visually checked this) my starboard drive NEVER cavitates, even on hard turns. any ideas??

Re: cavitation

It is probably ventilating, not cavitating.<br />Anything mounted on the transom or hull on the port side?<br />Anything that can cause a disruption to the waterflow can introduce airbubbles which can cause ventilation.
