Maybe try some zinc torque tabs behind the prop. May help. Just hard to compensate for one prop grabbing the water harder than the other.

What it sounds like is that the swivel shafts in the gimbals are worn badly. Can you grab the drive when trimmed up and wiggle it up and down or side to side? that's the tell. Regards Dan

Hazy on the 1st name, maybe Ed, but last name Paya used to have a 33 on Lake Champlain that ran about 105 with big blower motors. It was a 98 or 99 as I recall?

You can check to see if the toe of the drives is correct.

I need a boarding ladder. There's not too many options out there from what I can see. We do a 50/50 mix of sand bar and deep water anchorage. Im looking at the one in the pic. Anyone have one? They come in 2 and 3 steps, any recommendations on which works better?? Any other recommendations for ladders?

Also my gas gauge only works for about the bottom third of the dial. The tank was near "E" and I put in $350 and it went up just past 1/4. Is the sender underneath the back seat? The pic is what is coming out inside the bilge. Can anyone explain how that works? My Fountain didnt have anything like that. Thanks!
