Chalking this up to my boat owner rookieness and stupidity, so take it easy on me 
I've done the research on pulling issues, and have decided to slightly adjust the tab to see if it will correct my severe right pull. The tab as I view is now is definitely turned to the left a few clicks, so I'll be moving it rightward.
At issue:
The stingray fin that I installed on my boat has 2 of the small 4 bolts going through the "groove" of the trim tab (?) round plate that rotates when you make the adjustment (I wasn't paying attention when I drilled
). I'll have to take those 2 bolts out to adjust the tab. It's not a problem to adjust the tab, but to re-install the fin, I'll need to re-drill the holes after I rotate the plate (just the two holes through the groove again).
The boat pulled right (particularly harder at lower speed, and trimmed down) before I installed the fin. So, the fin has definitely helped me get on plane quicker, but didn't affect the pull for better or worse.
Will it be okay to re-drill the 2 holes through the grove and install the fin? I know some of you don't like the fins, but that's another topic
God bless to all and good boating. Keith
