Boat tilts right

[gmedicdg]

I have a 16ft starcraft with a merc 115, when I come on plane the boat starts yawing or tilting to the left, at times quite severly. I have tryed balancing the weight in both seats and no matter what I have tryed I have still had this problem, hope to hear some ideas on curing this problem...

Re: Boat tilts right

You are experiencing torque steer, GMedicdg.<br /><br />An incorrect prop (overpropped) can cause this, but most commonly it is incorrect adjustment of the trim tab on the foot of your engine.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: Boat tilts right

Are you listing to the left or right, you heading says right and your copy says left? If it is left then it could be a torque list caused by the prop ( relatively common). Or as JB says look at the torque steering tab on the bottom of the cavitation plate.<br /><br />Does the motor have a hydrofoil?
