[QUOTE="Montana300, post: 498937, member: 30666"] It's really as simple as the fact that you have a fairly powerful motor on a little boat so prop torque effect will be magnified.On my 14' with its 15HP motor I experienced significant prop torque, including an adrenaline-inducing moment on its first outing when I momentarily let go of the tiller at speed and instantly turned sharp right! The issue was a steering tension nut that was too loose. I suspect that's your issue too, so I'd address that before messing with adjustable trim tabs that are unlikely to solve your problem.
