I have an older starcraft v bottom boat with a mercury 1000- 100 hp out board motor on it. Took it out on the water and for some reason if I go 15 mph or above, it tends to lean to the left side at a 45degree angle. It feels like the back end tries to push around. Does any one know why it is doing this? |

Hey there!
Have you checked the trim-tab? Adjust it towards the lean of the boat.
If boat steers left, adjust the tab towards the portside. The tab acts as a guide to correct motor's "torque steer". I know it sounds funny that it should be adjusted into the direction of steer, but that's how she works... Like a lady, these things boggle our simple man-minds!
Do it in stages and test accordingly.
This should sort the problem. Just don't drop any parts if doing this exercise on the water...
Regards!
Benjamin. |

That is really extreme and it sounds like there is something wrong with the boat bottom. |
