This winter I bought a boat (1993 Lund Angler, 80 Yamaha)on this site and I finally had the chance to take it out for a spin this last weekend. This is the first Yamaha I have ever owned and boy do I love it. I had a 50 mercury 4 stroke on my old boat and I thought that thing ran really sweet. But, I will say that the Yamaha is the cat’s meow. Granted, I have only had it out once, but it sure is nice. However, There was one thing that I encountered on my maiden voyage, and that was that the motor seemed to pull to the right all the time. I did tighten up the steering tension bar and that seemed to help, but still wanted to pull a little. I think I read somewhere that if this happens that it can be corrected by adjusting the little fin above the propeller. I thought I read that if it pulls to the right, that I need to turn the front of the fin to the right also (clockwise). Is this correct? Can anyone out there helpo me with this one? On the same note, I do not see any screws under there that would allow me to loosen it and adjust it accordingly. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
