Location: Irvine, KY | Ive fished all my life but am fairly new to the boating scene... looking for some help.
I recently purchased a used 18 foot tracker with a 90 horse merc. when I get my speed up and trim it out the boat wants to run to the right... I assume this is somewhat normal because of the direction the prop is turning. However, when I compensate for this and steer to the left the boat rides unlevel, with the left side down towards the water.
I know there is a small "fin" above the prop for correcting this so I dont have to correct the problem with the steering wheel - thus fixing my problem. The question is, which direction do I need to point the fin? its currently pointed slightly to the left (\) It seems to me that this is the whole reason the boat is running to the right.
Do I point it straight ahead? more to the left (\) or back to the right (/)? Or do I need to do something completely different?
Just trying to save myself some time. Thanks.
