My boat wants to turn left only at high speeds. Stering is tight at high speeds and if i take my hand off the wheel the boat will actually turn left.. ONce i slow down my boat seems to stear fine. Is this because my scag is bent about an inch or two.

thank for your help

An inch or two is quite a bit and not helping things. Is your trim tab adjusted properly?

It is actually straight. Should I adjust it and try then? Im a newbie and dont want to stress anything on the boat, lowerunit ect.

I read before it the boat is pulling right adjust the trim tab left or oposite. Thanks

Adjust the rear of the trim tab in the direction it's trying to steer i.e. if it's going left, adjust the rear of the tab to the left.

Again, an inch or two is signifigant...
