Boat pulls to the right

[310sundancer]

Ok this might be a little nit picking but the boat pulls to the right, if I let the wheel go she starts a right turn at about 10* in 10 seconds, I have bravo 3 drives with tie bar and showers and the drives seem to be align.

I can't see my steering gear in bilge !

"Seem to be Aligned" I have an issue with that statement ... Also there could be a lot of factors involving this pull , even current can do that . How about RPM balance ???

The RPM are the same, not much current on my side of lake st. Clare, wind dose not make a difference

Trim angle of the drives may induce pulling to on side.

I didn't know they put the 7.4 in the 310. That's a well powered boat. Is that a factory install?

Not sure with the Bravo III but normally on out drives there is a little tab at the aft end of the cavitation plate that is used to trim this type of pulling out. It usually is a anode and may be gone. Boltman is correct in his reservations about the drives "seemed to be aligned" They need to be aligned first.

Most likely - I have a 2000 310 with the 7.4s from the factory.

Could it be something as simple as the starboard trim tab being in the down position? That would turn you to the right.

Just a thought.

Trim tab ? Maybe I'll have to look at that next time I am out !

Yup that's factory, just no replacement for displacement !!!
