Poor handling, hard to steer at full speed

[ShoestringMariner]

If your “normal” trim is up tight to the hull as shown in earlier pictures you’ve found your problem....

The motor should be perpendicular, if not slightly outward from vertical, on plane. Properly trimmed, there should be little to no pull at all on the helm. I can let go of the helm and walk away when trimmed out

Thanks, motor is all te way forward tight to the transom like it was before. Pic of perpendicular was when I changed lower end oil. Never ran it like that then or now

That would certainly explain the problem.

Trim the motor out to the proper trim angle and your problem should go away
