To much torque on wheel
Brother in law has a 20ft run-a-bout with a mercruiser I/O. There is so much torque on the steering wheel (pulls left) when first starting out it almost rips it from your hands. Once the boat planes out there is no problem with the steering. He changed the prop thinking that might be the problem. That wasnt it. Any ideas??
Thanks

Not sure I agree..... the trim tab will have some effect on acceleration - but is intended more for control "at speed"..... BUT - I'm not always right.... I'd love to know how it turns out if you play with the trim tab....... (always thirsting for knowledge)....

if you have a torque tab,looks like a small fin hanging down ,which is right above the prop.standding at the back looking the tab should be to the right just a little and that will take to torque out some but not all of it.
