    Does it pull too hard to adjust the steering trim on the remote control?

      Where are your batteries placed? Do you have a smaller prop to test with? Do you have any pics of your setup?

                  Is the stinger flat? It looks angled downward. On my own SV27 it like to run with 0 degrees angle.

                    no nicks ?? stinger , are you talking bout the shaft the prop mounts to??? if so looks angled down to me to??? would that cause the pulling??

                      That is the blue shaft that the prop shaft runs thru. With it angled down that would cause the boat to run wet. Considering the other factors, such as the weight added to the front and the batteries moved forward, it may be a problem. I don't know for sure if it would cause the steering issue, but it is a start. Try raising it till it is flat with the bottom of the boat. See if that helps.

                        Try bending those trim tabs so they are flat with the bottom of the boat. They look angled down too far also.

                            Try it first with the weight. If it is ok with you, leave it in. If it runs too wet take it out. Play with the battery locations as well. It may help you some as well.
