velocity 260 listing to port side
 
I have noticed that when I run my velocity 260 it lists to the port side and the faster I go the worse it gets has any one ever had this problem? I have tried getting all the weight in the boat to the starboard side (ie) icechest, passengers I am running a bravo one 30p prop that I had redone over the winter and the cable power assist steering any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like engine torque. Try a left hand prop.

Possibly the gimble. I had a boat that would make turns getting out of the throttle.

Assuming your running a single screw w/RH rotation. Your prop is hookin up very well and the torque is rolling the boat to port. That's a heck of a large pitch prop. How many horse power you running? What's your RPM at wide open throttle? About all you can do is weight everything to starboard or put on some trim tabs.
