Very lite wheel when turning right, very stiff turning left. Any suggestions? btw. Anybody suggest a good boat shop in the Riverview/Apollo beach area? Muchas Gracias

| ya inspect your sacraficial anode(zinc tablet) on your outboard it is proabably out of line causing the boat to naturally want to pull one way or another

| | Thanks for the response Hendy and Cracker...now...what/where exactly is the tablet with the fin? First boat, used to fish a kayak so not exactly sure what Im lookin for. I know you guys know whats up, cause I have already learned alot from both your prior posts. Specifically that trailer wheel prob. Thanks in advance Mike
Thanks for playin! |

| Should be just above your Prop.........Be Careful.....the bolt might be froze up......smack the head of the bolt with a hammer first,that should break up any rust around the thread`s.....if it breaks,you have to drill out the broken bolt,and re-tap the hole  If the Tablet is very worn....Replace it,that`s what keeps the carosion down for all the bolts.

| | Welcome to the forums Mike, as for your question about marine repair..Nowhere else but Bullfrog Creek Marine ! If Cracker aint workin on ine , I wont use anyone else but Bullfrog Creek in Gib`Town ! They are by far the best bunch of guys there are in Tampa Bay area ! Not just in repairs, but they are friendly , helpful and will go out of there way to make sure you are taken care of !
