Question
bought it a year ago, when i take off it pulls hard right, can a boat be out of alignment? once I get on plane it ride smooth, but it acts out of alignment on take off?

Answer
Hi Larry,

i think you need to adjust the problem by using the trim tab. This is located on the lower engine leg. Often covered by a cap. Loosen the bolt on the adjustment and adjust in small increments. This should fix the problem.

Cheers
