I just bought a yamaha 6 hp 4 stroke. It pulls to the right, worse at wot. I tried setting trim level but made no difference. Any suggestions? Thanks, Allen

called torque steer, i don't believe 6hp has an adjustable trim tab above the prop. buy there should be a tension screw on the swivel that can be tighten, to help the problem, just makes it a little harder to turn.

Tashasdaddy, thanks for responding. I have it tight as it will go but doesnt help the pulling. It is bad enough that if i would let go the tiller it would slam all the way to the right. The faster the worse it gets

Re: pulling to right

it should be able to tighten, so that it stays in place. a lot of people that use them for trolling do this, and then turn their main motor for steering from the remote helm.
