Default Outdrive torque...

When you cram the throttle for a hole shot, the boat rotates slightly
to starboard along it's bow/stern axis - almost like the torgue roll
you get with a high horsepower car. At least it feels like that to me
- it's not a violent movement by any means, but it feels funky.

It that normal? Just asking - I've never "felt" this before on other
outdrive boats I've tested or driven.


It depends on the weight of the boat, amount of deadrise, trim, etc,
not all that unusual in my also limited experience. It's one of the
reasons for the dual counter-rotating props on the Bravo 3.
