Boat wants to turn left

[brownings]

I have a Fourwinns 225 Sundowner 5.7L with King Cobra out drive.
With boat under way and on plain if you let go of the steering wheel the boat turns left. Is their anything I can do to help this problem.


Also when going slow to get to dock the boat goes back and forth alot,you have to steer all the time.
Thanks

i know on outboards there is a little fin on the bottom of the cavitation plate, and it can be turned lefy or right to adjust drifting, but im not sure if yours is the same.

No it does not have a little adjustable fin??

Don't know about the turning left with a KC. It's probably due to the angular momentum of the prop and inertia of the gearsets.

Slow drift is normal for V-Hulls, just have to deal with it.
