i was running my bj today and i notice that its running off blance that the right side(from stern view) is dragging in the water and the left is out of the water.
my set up is:
Aeromarine hardwear.
642 prop.
no battery trays.
turn fins(taking them off soon)
no tuperwear bowl
and a auto bailer on the right side (rear view of boat)

any suggestions?:help:

All of them do that, it's torquing I found 3 bladers stops it a lil...I place receiver pack on the port(left) sponson to help a lil'...even my outboard BJ does it with a 2 blade prop.

No, if your looking at the boat from the stern, the prop is spinning from Right(starboard) to Left(port) so the boat will try to spin the opposite direction, like twisting a piece of wire.
