CP - I wouldn't go for the quick fix . . . I doubt it will help.

Trim Tabs should correct/mask the behavior (I have an extra set of bennett accuators and tabs that I can loan you . . . I'll see if I can dig up the pump and lines . . . otherwise we can hit Rancho Marine Recyclers) .

You can try them out before blowing another thousand bucks changing the prop and rotation of the outdrive. The worst thing that might happen is that you drill a few small holes in the transom (we can fix that too with a little epoxy).
