  • Trim or torque?

    I'm running a 130 two stroke on a 5.5m RIB, when I am on the plane at anything over 25knots the boat tilts to starboard, more revs seem to make it worse.
    Now I am told this is due to the torque produced by the opposite rotation engine and not much boat in the water - this makes sense but can it be corrected by installing a trim tab or adjusting something else on the engine - ie the trim anode for example?
    Cheers

    there should be an adjustable zinc trim tab/sacrificial anode on the back/bottom of your cavitation plate. if yours is missing then you can buy one and install it. it helps quite a bit with torque steer but you'll probably want/need to always keep a hand on your steering wheel. Good Luck!

      Cheers, finally figured it out when I went to the Perth boat show. Have since reset the angle on the trim tab anode and things are alot better
