new 18 ft All Fish leans to starboard

[hmarlowe]

I bought a new 18 ft Tracker All Fish. As soon as power is applied, the boat leans to starboard. I can correct it by turning the wheel to port or by filling the port side live well full of water. I took it back to the dealer who told me this is normal. I don't believe him. Any comments?

It is fairly normal, and has to do with the torque of the prop.

Smart tabs (or another form of trim tabs) will help. Mine was doing the same thing, and Smart Tabs fixed the problem.

Could it be the torque tab on the cavatation plate by the prop?If there was a motor swap it may not be set up for that boat.

just a word of wisdom.do not let tracker take your boat back to the factory for work .mine was at the factory for prox. 3 months .the fix they did was add weight to correct my problem. i would NEVER buy a tracker product again.Ed
