My boat "pulls" to the RIGHT when running. I am trying to figure out which direction to rotate the skeg on the outboard to eliminate the right pull. Can anyone tell me whether I should rotate it Clockwise or counterclockwise when looking at the outboard from above to eliminate the right pull? Also, how far should I move it?

Fillet 1, Had same problem when I first bought my boat, As you stand behind the boat turn the trailing end of zink to the right a couple degrees about 3/16". Doesn't take alot. Crusher

Cool. I read that it should be rotated counter clockwise when looking from above to counteract the right pull. I guess you are "planing" the drive to the left to counteract the pull. 8)
