Quick question

[GSXRaholic42]

I have a 1989 bayliner Capri 1900 with a 125 force.
1. I was wondering if anyone knew why my boat is always pulling to the right. If I let the wheel go it always takes a Sharp right.

Re: Quick question

on the back of the ventilation plate is a tab ..you move this like a little rudder ..it should be over to the left...to take out the right turn

Re: Quick question

its an anti ventilation plate NOT a cavitation plate .....cavitation is what happens on the propeller blades

Re: Quick question

The exhaust snout is not a rudder, it is a trim tab like on airplanes. Moving the rear of the tab to the right will bias the engine to the left at the rear and thus resist torque forces trying to pull the hull to the right.

Understand though that this setting is only good for a specific trim angle. Usually, with full in or down trim, the steering will be heavy and the boat will pull to one side no matter what the trim tab setting. So, set the exhaust snout to track the boat straight at the most used throttle setting.
