Steering on Xb2002

[reelly]

Thanks in advance. I went out in my XB2002 yesterday for the first time. It drove like dooky. I noticed to start with to keepp the boat straight the motor is turned slightly to the port side of boat. And the more you trim it up the worse it gets. At the what feels like the correct trim height the wheel is a half a turn to the right. You can feel it as you trim it up the further you have to steer to the right to keep the boat straight. I have a torque tab I have not put on yet. Would that cause this? I was thinking that would just releive the torque in the wheel. I measured the height of the jack plate on both sides and it is straight. Did I get the bobs nose cone crooked? Pad or boat screwed up? Newbie to this kind of setup. Always been a big boat person. Thans again for any suggestions.

to start, if the torque tap is for mounting on the skeg under the prop shaft put it on. get rid of the on above the prop shaft. it will always pull especially at higher jacked settings. let us know what happens after the tabs installed.
