Default Boat pulls to the left
This has gotten considerably worse over the last 2 weeks. At 1st I just noticed it when turning left , but now it is pulling hard to the left when planed out and going straight across the water.No problems and slow or idle speed. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Is the zinc rudder trim anode on your outdrive loose or misadjusted causing the boat to pull?

    X2! Another cause would be a bent skeg but its more likely the trim anode.

    Good probability the problem is the zinc anode out of position. Turn the anode to the left to correct the problem. Some trial and error may be necessary before the correct adjustment.
