[QUOTE="ktoelke54, post: 476820, member: 21618"] Had the same experience with a 25 Mercury 2 stroke. Here is what I found out. In order to neutralize the left-right pull the motor had to be trimmed where the cavitation plate was close to level with the bottom of the hull. If I trimmed it in to get up on plane faster it pulled really hard. I started trimming if out to where it was just a little past parallel with the bottom of the boat and it was totally neutral, no pull in either direction. I trimmed it back one pin towards the transom (to help it get up on plane) and I was able to compensate for the pull with the little fin on the bottom of the cavitation plate.
