Hi guys,<br />I have a problem: my boat is pulling really hard to the right side, at high speed is almost a suicide.<br />I already check almost everything down there, also i moved the fin a little, but nothing happens <br />How to solve this problem , I have no idea about whats going wrong with my boat or engine.<br />Maxum 16ft x 7.2ft, Merc 115hpELPTO,60mph top speed, Fish & ski.

Re: PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT SIDE???

Assuming there's nothing strange hanging on your hull it sounds like a trim adjustment. If you've already adjusted the trim tab (the little fin) on the motor, try trimming up or down while underway. The boat's properly trimmed when the wheel pressure is equal left and right.

Move the fin approx. 4 deg.See if that helps

Re: PULLING HARD TO THE RIGHT SIDE???

SilverKing,<br /><br />When you move the trim tab (fin), make sure you move it in the correct direction. If the boat pulls to the right, the back of the trim tab should be moved to the RIGHT. Or looking from the top, the tab should be turned COUNTERCLOCKWISE.<br />I messed this up. The trim tab is not a rudder like an outboard motor, rather a torque equalizer that will force the outboard to the left (in your case) if adjusted properly. If you move the tab to the left it will just make things worse....
