Hello everyone, I've just got installed a new merc 90hp (I had a 50hp working great last year) and on trying it, i noticed a few things, the engine splashes water outback at an amazing rate, looks like two water jets on each side of my RIB!!! + at high speed the water gushes back inside the boat between the transom and the engine bracket. On top of all of this, the steering pulls strongly to the right and the boat now has a tendency to sort of "dance" in the water at high speeds" sort of a wobble feeling like on a motorcycle sometimes. Not good feeling at all!
