Tried adjusting the trim tab all the way in both directions. Still pulls but
slightly less when adjusted all the way. tried a differant prop, same thing-
what gives?

Your never going to get rid of it completely. Just above the mounting
bracket in the front of the engine, in the center, is a lever that
moves left and right. That adjust the steering friction, if you
increase the friction it will be a little stiffer to push the tiller
left or right, but it should help lessen the effect of torque
steering.
