I think I started this thread somewhere before but I want to revisit this subject , I have a small deep v center console , when going slow, just above idle speed, the boat won't go in a straight line, 16' V-Hull running max hp of 70hp fourstroke 4 Bladed prop. It wanders back and forth off center, it won't go in a straight line. My question is will Bennett self leveling trim tabs help it go straight ?

You can cure the boat of that. Make small steering corrections, and eventually you will get a feel for how to drive it at slow speed/

Once you find that sweet spot....it will continue to move left and right without touching the steering !!! Nature of the beast, nothing will stop it...
