[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 497473, member: 3438"] Pods will help raise the transom and you can float over shallower water. They may help you get on plane, too. On plane, even if installed correctly, will have some drag and will takeaway from your top speed. It will not help your bow steer issue. If it does, its because of the speed reduction, which is not how you want to solve it. In fact, you should test that. Back off fom WOT and see if the bow steer is reduced or eliminated. If so, gives more credance to a trim or transom angle causing it. Stick steer or maybe just a tiller extension should help your weight distribution and get on plane quicker. My concern is the high speed bow steer and understanding what is causing that. How is the motor mounted? It sounded like you were using clamps vs bolt thru. Going to bolt thru, you can raise it higher. Not saying that is causing the issue, just another thing you could try. [/QUOTE]
