Location: Forest Lake, MN & Bemidji, MN | Very unexperienced in this department so hoping for some basic suggestions. I recently got a great deal on a new to me 17ft crestliner pro-am powered by a 1994 mariner 75hsp 2 stroke tiller. Motor runs excellent. When I got it the torque tab was adjusted dramatically to the left and the boat was difficult to turn left when running at high rpm unless it was trimmed up. When trimmed up it was obviously easier, this seems impractical to me but it was how the previous owner handled it. I read in some old threads here that it may be a prop issue, not simply a torque issue.
The prop is a 13" 19 pitch 3 blade aluminum. I realize it will take some tinkering but I figured if someone could tell me a good baseline prop size/pitch upfront it would save time. I don't want to spend a bunch of time trying to get the torque tab thing figured out if I am running the completely wrong prop. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jeremy
