Default Bravo3 Drift

I currently run a single bravo3 on a Formula. I notice when going "marina speed", the boat wanders a little. It always comes back but it is easy to over correct. No trouble at speed. Not hyd. steering. Is this something common w/ Merc.Bravo 3? I have the drive maintained at the end of the season. Not a big deal, but would like to know. Thanks

All drives do it. Nothing to worry about. That's why it's important to go wot all the time!!!!!

Take care and be safe

Its called deep Vee wander. If I can find the link of a story that I wrote that covers this and why it happens.

Just to be sure everything is on the up and up check your gimble ring. If it is loose or worn on the steering pin it can amplify the effect. As you said don't try to fight it as the bow will come back over or you will be constantly correcting.
