Hope this is the correct forum for this question.

Ran my boat for the first time yesterday. It's a Ebbtide Dynatrak 179 with an 85 horse Mercury. Runs great, planes out just fine, but she pulls right. Not a problem as long as keep it straight with the wheel, however, if you ease up on the steering wheel, it always pulls pretty hard to the right.

Is the Trim Tab what I need to adjust to take this pulling out? If so, can you give me an idea of how much I should adjust at a time. If not, can someone explain to me how to remove this pulling from the boat.

Yep, the trim tab needs adjusted.
Always make small adjustments to this.
Turn it to the way it's pulling.
If boat is pulling right, turn tab to right, that should make boat track more left, etc.
