Re: Need Some Help The hull isn't warped is it? Sounds kinda weird. I would think it would somehow have to be trim related. Is this a new package for you? It's done this as long as you've owned it?

Re: Need Some Help Maybe, it would have to be way outta whack though. The transom angle couldn't be that far off on two different boats, ya think? I dunno man. Maybe one of these boys with a lil more experience will chime in here before too long. I went over the obvious.

Re: Need Some Help you probably have, but I have to ask --
Have you adjusted the transom angle adjustment rod?
It sets the angle of the motor against your transom - it's a pin right at the pivot point of the motor.

Re: Need Some Help Do you have a long shaft motor on a short transom boat?

Re: Need Some Help Thats what I was meaning by adjusting the trim, I just didn't say it right, I guess. Oh well. That should fix the problem.

Re: Need Some Help Put a straight edge on the bottom of boat from transom forward, sounds like you have hook in the hull. If you see alot of daylite between edge and hull this could cause your problem. Not much you can do for it.
