 GTR 37efi steering issue
I recently bought a 2016 Havoc 1756 mst with a GTR 37efi. Only issue is that the motor pulls pretty hard toward me. I had a buddy of mine who has had different mud motors over the past few years drive it around over the weekend and he said it pulls more than it should and he didn't know exactly what the issue was, which is why I'm here. Anyone that can offer any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Taylor

 Re: GTR 37efi steering issue
Call gt. That cast lower doesn't lend itself to skeg adjustments according to some previous topics on the subject. I think the general consensus is to shift your motor a little bit at a time until it stops. I believe you shift the motor in the direction it wants to turn, but I'm not sure. Haven't done it as my skeg bends fine (it's not the cast version).

 Re: GTR 37efi steering issue
I have the exact same boat and motor. I moved the motor 1 inch off center (toward the left side of the boat). And switched props to the big blade. That helped mine a lot.

 Re: GTR 37efi steering issue
Thanks cah412! Also, I was told I'd see about 30-31 with no load and a couple guys, but highest I've seen is 26. Did you see any speed difference after adjusting the motor position?

 Re: GTR 37efi steering issue
30-31 with a couple guys seems a good bit inflated. It's my understanding havoc makes a very fast outboard boat but the mud hull isn't the best. I think 26 with a couple guys is darn good. It's a mud boat, I wouldn't expect to be running very fast.

 Re: GTR 37efi steering issue
You won't see that speed ever with that hull unless you spend about 2500 modding it

 Re: GTR 37efi steering issue
Not a chance, SC. He's using punctuation, proper spelling, and complete sentences. Along with that, he's being fairly civil and asking questions instead of knowing everything already.
