I have a Lund Angler and a 90hp Honda, and at trolling speed if I let go of the steering wheel the motor will turn to the right. Is there a way to tighten up the steering or the motor?
JH - Most motors (I do not know about Honda)have an adjustable zinc anode above and behind the prop. You can loosen it with a socket of allen wrench, turn it CCW (from above), tighten it and it will assist in overcomming the "Pull to the right", which is caused by motor torque.<br /><br />Also, some motors have steering tightness adjusters. Again I do not know about Honda. The owners manual should tell you.
Thanks for the reply, I think what i am looking for is a friction screw to adjust. I am not sure where it is on this motor. It runs fine under speed, just not at a troll.
Just hooked, depending on whether this condition has always existed or just recently started, it could be a damaged skeg. They can be repaired or adjusted as well. Ramp damage can put a slight hook in them and cause the same results. Mine needs straightning now from the same.
