  1. So for what it’s worth, I don’t think tabs are the only answer, if it’s leaning at full throttle. There was at one time a lengthy chat about a similar boat leaning to one side, not steering but leaning like from an unbalanced load.  I’m assuming the fuel tank is in center of boat, kicker is opposite of driver batteries somewhat balanced in mid section of boat? You shouldn’t really have any lean, unless your considerably less than the weight of your kicker (they usually weigh under a 100lbs), thus the topic was centered around the main motor not mounted at the correct height. I think it was mentioned it was mounted too high. Any hoo I would hate to see you mount trim tabs when it might be your overall engine / boat performance that is getting robbed. Might want to do a search on here to find the posts or talk with the dealer about it.  You might even find or hear back from guys on here who had it. I always was never a fan of band aiding the problem. Unless it was to get you back to dock lol. Nice rig by the way.

  2. Probably difficult to say knowing your in a river like you said. Not sure how much current there is. Did it do the same going opposite direction?  Do you hear pump activating (trying to steer) when your going off course? There is a feature to step up the response from leisure to performance. I use this when it’s windy vs calm days. Gives it a quicker response when boat is being blown or pulled off coarse. Not sure if you tried that. For what it’s worth it, the 100 does sound small for your set up. Not sure without looking.  You can verify it with your ram size on the hydraulics to what Raymarine suggests. 

  3. My evinrude 115 was doing same thing, replaced rectifier. All better. From what I learned could be a slew of things. Contacts, like what was suggested, wiring connections etc. someone on here will have some other ideas to try or will have the answer for your particular motor. 

  4. Went out yesterday to run the boat around, first time with the new seats. The smile on my sons face while  running through the chop was priceless. As all have mentioned, it’s a game changer for how your boat runs and feels. No more sore back, at least for now!

  5. For whatever it’s worth, if it helps, you should keep your electronics off the TM batteries and put them on your main. Interference might be an issue  and level drawing the lithiums if you are tying them together if you have more than one helps them live longer. To your question as long as your trolling with the motors charging the main you’ll be fine. Is your main going to be lithium as well?
