Awesome Site!!! Why is my boat

Awesome Site!!! Why is my boat pulling hard to the left when under power? Tried adjusting trim tab but didn't help. 18' Bayliner with 3.0 Mercuiser/Alpha one. Thx!

"Did you adjust it the right way or enough? (No insult meant.) You have to tweek it quite a bit at times. My old Bayliner needed about 45 degrees to straighten her out--and it only works for one, narrow speed range. It's best to set it only for your most used crauising speed and hang on above or below that.

PS: My twin-engined inboard also pulls to the left--just started doing that late last year. I have NO idea why; there's nothing wrong that I can see. Might have to rig up an adjustable trim tab on the rudders (like airplanes use) to correct it. Irritating!"
