Default outdrive swing when trailering

I have two bravo 3 drives. I noticed that the drives seemed to have swung to the starboard side a bit when I was trailering. They don't seem to want to yank back to center, but feel like they are willing swing farther over starboard. Is this normal? Is there a trick to this?

Mine don't swing, but I have external Hydraulic steering.

I would imagine if you don't have external hyd. steering that some swing to one side might be normal?

yes it is normal but if you do alot of towing i would suggest using straps to hold the drives from moving because as they sway they will wear the gimbal rings and steering shafts and they are not a cheap fix.
