Boat Name:

Model/Year:

Hull No.

Hailing Port:

I have a 28' Mark 2 2007.With any more than 3 or 4 knots of boat speed under motor the boat veers strongly to the port.The pressure is only evident with the throttle on,easing once the prop is put in neutral mode.The boat is standard factory issue without any modifications.
Does anybody have any ideas?An engineer suggested it is "over-propped."
