    Default Pulls to Right


    My 115 Merc outboard is pulling hard to the right at speeds over 15mph. Under 15mph it seems to be fine. When I bought it a few months ago the owner said he just replaced the stering cable. Any ideas on why it is pulling or how to fix??

    On the bottom of your lower unit and just above the prop is a trim tab. Move the back of it to the right a little bit at a time until the pull is gone.
