Toe IN or Toe OUT

I am going to switch drives from turning out and try running them turning in. Do I need to setup the toe on the drive different. I don't know if it is in or out now, but I would like to set it up right now.

How much toe if props are turning in? (in"/out")

How much toe if props are turning out? (in"/out")

A friend of mine called Formula to check on this months back and they said "straight".

Straight is where you want to be.
Measure the center line dim. of the gimble housing and adjust the tie bar so that the prop shaft canter line is the same.

Re: Toe IN or Toe OUT

The 31 Formula I just bought was set up to turn in. I grew up on bassboats and the ride was similar in that the azz end felt loose. Turned the props out and the ride was much more stable. Actually picked up 1 MPH, but that may be due to driver in-experience and a new to me boat.
