Default Re: stern heavy

If you're referring to the little trim skeg as absent, a 200 Merc 2-stroke definitely creates considerable steering torque especially w/o hydraulic steering. The tab won't solve your porpoising but it may help counter that dive to port quartering a swell...those little tabs have amazing influence, the final say you might say, almost like a second rudder
