So I changed out my stock 515 prop for a 911 as I pack quite a bit of ballast and went out surfing last weekend. Everything seemed fine for the first while. I was just started on my second ride and I noticed the wave was almost straight up and down and the prop wash was terrible. I couldnt stay in the wave no matter what I tried. I came and wanted to try driving myself and noticed the boat was pulling to the right quite badly. Checked everything as best I could on the water, nothing out of the ordinary. Trailered the boat and did an inspection, not a nick or scratch anywhere and when the steering wheel is at "0" the rudder is straight. I thought it might have been some weird fluke so I took the boat out last night for a quick run with my boat mechanic buddy and it is still doing it. You have to actually fight the wheel, and under speed it really wants to take off to the right....any thoughts anyone??
My mechanic suggested to put the old prop back on and see how it does, I can't see how that would make any difference but I will give it a try...
