Leg Alignment

[skinnylegs]

Hi all

Am new to the forum and would like some feedback on leg alignment. Mercruiser Bravo II's

When viewing the legs from the stern of the boat the legs are not aligned with each other. Is this normal or should they be perfectly aligned with each other.

With both engines in ahead and steering straight the boat tends to veer to one side.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

do you have handed props on the legs? the stern drives should toe in a little the boat builder should be able to tell you what they set them at or your local mercruser dealer.

When the steering is centred, are the legs centred.
There is a rod across the back of the transom that can be adjusted to centre the legs to the steering, been there had the problem.

When you centre the steering one leg is at 90 degrees to the transom and one is say 87 degrees.

It could be your wheel is not straight and in fact the steering is straight when both legs are 88.5 degrees to the transom, or 91.5 depending on what side your measuring?

Sounds about right. They shouldn't be parallel.
