[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5229621, member: 19900"] That Skeg, tab, zinc or whatever you want to call it plays a vital role in controlling steering torque. My old bass boat with a 115 was tuned for almost zero torque at max speed with motor trimmed up. When you trimmed the motor down it would about pull your arm out of socket the torque was so bad. If you let go, the boat would slam the motor full stop to the right and could flip the boat at full throttle. We adjusted the skeg to reduce the torque at regular trim levels and it was MUCH easier to steer AND was MUCH MUCH safer. It wouldn't hammer over into an uncontrollable spin. [/QUOTE]
