I hate that the outrunner motor makes the p1 twist so bad. Any way to stop that? Without getting another motor

Mine doesn't twist! Adjust your trim tabs, I bought mine used here and the previous owner installed his own, these are a lot better than the current trim tab/ turn fin combo. http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ros-spdt-150 and these: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ose-80060

Mike, I am no expert in tuning a boat, but before you start, you should have an idea of the settings. On my trim tab I measure the distance between the blade and the bracket. Also i find it is useful to have a steel ruler.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mascot-Precision-Tools-6-Metric-English-Scale-Metal-Ruler-MPTH710-/150827072388?_trksid=p1984.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222000%26algo%3DSIC.CURRENT%26ao%3 D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D9210364057551097435%26pid%3 D100011%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D2%26 I place it ( on its edge) along the hull bottom and trim tabs, you can tell then what angle it is set. I find the tabs need to be either neutral or a bit "negative---pointing down). For the P1 my stinger is absolutely neutral and/or with even a hint of "positive" ---and that got rit of most of my unstabled manners. Hopefully someone who really knows will give you better advice.
Good Luck and have fun.

Hey,:tiphat:
What prop are you using and on what s cells for your setup ?
And do you have any pictures of the setup in the boat with the cells and of your transom hardware ?
