    Pulling Port

    Hi, if the prop turns clockwise a right handed engine, I would set the anode under the cavitation plate to the 1 o'clock position. My engine also pulls port and that solved most of the problem. I think before I get on plane even with the skeg set to 1 o'clock it still pulls a bit.

    Hi Hookup, nice job. I have a question about the raw water through hull strainer. It appears that there are 3 holes through the rear of each strainer. Did you drill them or did the strainer come that way?
