Position of the small trim tab/anode just above the prop.. Turn it's trailing edge (the one you see when standing behind the boat and looking at it) slightly left and it will correct the problem.

Find the pitch of the existing prop (it will be on it somewhere) and get a SS with the same pitch... (assuming you are getting the right revs with the current prop)
