Torque tabs and pulling hard to the right (?)

[larry d]

Hey guys...I have an Evinrude XP 200 and that sucker will run! but.....It pulls HARD to the right...Do those torque tabs really work? And are they hard to install? I also have a slightly bent prop shaft...I can order a new one through Bass Pro Shop fairly inexpensive...but what about changing it out? Costly?
Need help with this.

Thanks,
Larry D

I have no clue about the prop shaft. I'm sure that's not easy to do. Torque tabs do work. You might also lessen your torque by switching to a four blade prop if you are not already running one.

My last motor pulled REALLY hard to one side. I adjusted the tab, and it helped, a new prop fixed all of it though. Hope you get it figured out. </p>
