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.

Re: Boat pulls strongly to port side.

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.
