Prop Walk - trim issue

[epick4811]

I have a side console 2001 Logic 150 with a 50HP Merc. When I am running at no-wake
speed, I cannot maintain a straight course. Does this mean I have to adjust the trim
tab?

[Cape Codder]

No. The Trim Tab Is Adjusted For Higher Speeds For Steerage. If The Helm Turns Harder In One Direction Than The Other The Trim Tab Then Gets Adjusted. Is The Payload Weight In Your Boat Centered? If Not, That Can Cause A Slow Speed Drift. Otherwise, Just Anticipating Direction Change With The Helm Will Keep You Going Strait In Any Situation. Hope This Helps.

Thanks - I'll check the weight distribution.

I noticed a little bit of a tendancy for the bow to slide around at very low speeds on my 150 CC also.

The wind and or currents will do it to you every time with these slick speed type hulls as there really isn't much of a keel to grab the water so the bow will wander a bit at verry low speed.

This will help negate that slow speed wonder issue http://www.bobsmachine.com/Products/...stabilizer.cfm
