[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 476855, member: 24227"] The zinc anode right above the prop is made to be adjusted to counteract this turning force. This anode has a "trim tab" that hangs down just over the prop. Loosen the bolt holding the tab in place and rotate the rear of the tab toward the direction your boat is steering. Tighten the bolt. These tabs make a big difference and it only takes a small adjustment to work. 5º - 10º is probably enough. My boat always pulled to the right. As long as I had my hand on the wheel, everything was fine. If I let go, the bolt would swing right. I adjusted the rear of the trim tab just a few degrees to the right and the boat stays perfectly straight if I let go of the wheel now. [img]http://www.engraver1.com/erase2/ttab.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
