 Re: motor is pushing hard what could be wrong
Could be a weight distribution issue or just need to bend the tab on the LU.

Dont bend skeg. It is cast and will break.

 Re: motor is pushing hard what could be wrong
Not sure why you couldn't build a wedge to bolt to the skeg.
But if anything ever happened to the lower unit it probably wouldn't be under warranty.

 Re: motor is pushing hard what could be wrong
Sorry was thinking of the older LU . Yeah don't bend it if it's cast.
