Is there an imbalance of steering wheel effort required between turning left or turning right when trimmed for cruisng speed? I have done setups on boats where the motor trim tab was improperly adjusted and it will create a torque along the boat's longitudinal axis (roll axis for you pllots out there.) On a light boat it will cause the boat ot be slightly off of level in cruise.
