any thoughts??? and I have the same amount of weight on both sides of the boat :-/
Swap out your Mercruiser for a Volvo and it will pull right, instead. *You just didn't want it to pull left, no?

On a more helpful note, if I have the drived trimmed to far down at speed, it will pull harder than normal.

I agree, motor all the way down = harder steering. I have NFB so I don't get the pull but I imagine I would have pull without NFB.
