Boat Pulls Hard Left Under Acceleration
I am looking to buy a 94 Formula 252 SS 7.4L Bravo III 370hrs , Under straightline acceleration it pulls pretty hard to the left, Is this normal ??? I have not seen this this before with other Boats

Perhaps a worn out gimball ring pin? It usually does it when cutting off throttle slowing down but i guess it may have a similar smaller effect accelerating! Or a loose in steering system somewhere?

I didn't notice it when slowing, But I had so many things I was trying to absorb that I probably didn't pay attention to that, It steered fine until maybe 25-30 m.p.h. when I started to accelerate, Is it possible that it spun a prop hub ?? Boat has been sitting for a few years with no activity ?

Something's not right . First off , there's no prop torque with a DP unit and there's no prop bushings on a B3 either .
If you let go of the wheel at any given speed it dramatically pulls to one side on its own ?
