Default RE: QUESTION ABOUT RUDDER TRIM

This is called prop walk all gas boats suffer from this its due to prop rotation especially if the props not sharp and ballanced.Ways to overcome it are 1st sharpen your prop and see if this helps if not offset the drive 1/4" to the right this will mean redrilling the hole in the transom and moving your strut over.If you dont want to do that then you can simply shim the strut on the right side with spacers which will angle the prop left a tad and will stop the prop walking,only do it a cpl of % maybe a cpl of washers or some thin alluminium plate will do.
