Scott,

Propellers spin, that spin puts a small amount of force on the stern of the
boat which may be what is causing the boat to wander. Also was there wind?
current? they will all cause the boat to move around in one way or another.

Boats are not cars, they are very dynamic and they are effected by a number
of forces some of which (like current and prop walk) may not be obvious.

Good luck

first time posting so if this is not the place let me know


the boss and i just took out the boat for the very first time,
and we noticed that a slow speeds leaving the marina, the boat seemed to
be wandering to the left.
when we try to correct, it has a slow responce and we end up
overcorrecting.
we look like a bunch of drunks.
at higher speeds on the lake every thing seems fine.
any ideas??


TIA Scott


Nothinbg wrong, just normal reaction to an inboard boat...... simply
stated , you need to learn how your particular boat handles
