Re: Speaking of steering....
Well , I guess you will have to bring it to Lewes next weekend,
so MSBHAMMER and I can take it for a test spin and we MIGHT be able to diagnose your problem. That is if we don't capsize like reyb's friends did. ;) ;) ;) I am an outboard guy, but after this winter, I think I will know more about inboard's than I really want to. I'll be helping my buddy tear apart his old Evinrude boat, nobody wants to touch it and those that do, don't know what they are doing, so we are going the street rod direction and do & learn as we go.

Re: Speaking of steering....
Have you tried adjusting your trim anode?

Re: Speaking of steering....
My I/O does the same thing TILL I trim the motor up a bit while underway above planning speed. Then it's all good. My anode it turned to the max.

Re: Speaking of steering....
Its the zinc fin just above the prop, that little fin steers the boat, by moving that one way or the other is like giving you car a front alinement to keep it stright, this does the same thing.

Re: Speaking of steering....
Engine torque, slight variances in the hull lines, outdrive slightly offset to one side and so on and so on. There are to many variables to list that will cause it to pull, but the anode with the rudder is there to compensate for it. And also like stated by HAMMERHEAD, having the outdrive trimmed all the way in will cause a pull from plowing.
