pulls right

[JV1964]

I have an 18ft. bass boat witha 97 90hp mariner..She runs great except for the fact that is recently started pulling hard right at wot. Is there any kind of adjustments to correct this? What would cause a boat to pull to one side.

Re: pulls right

the fin above the propellor is adjustable, if pulling right adjust to the left from the back.

Re: pulls right

If the boat is pulling to the right you adjust the trim tab to point to the right and vice-versa.

If you have power trim & tilt, adjust the tab to compensate for pull when you've got the motor trimmed out as you would normally run it. Trimming in and out from this position will change the affect of the trim tab and can make the boat pull a bit.

Check your prop for damage, and check the hull for any obstructions or change which might cause the boat to pull.
