Hey y’all. I have a Nitro LX140 1997 model boat. When on pad if I don’t trim the motor up the boat will start veering to the right. If I turn left to try to correct it the boat will start leaning to the left. If I trim it up it will level off and ride perfect. Just curious if this is normal from prop torque? Also if the trim tab or anything else can correct this issue.

Thanks for the input. I knew they all needed to be trimmed up but I’ve been in several boats and never had one pull and lean if you didn’t. From what I’m seeing the 17.5 ft Nitros and others have this issue because of prop torque and other things
