When you use a powerful motor with a large and effective propeller, the boat may pull to one side (the technical term for this is “list” – the boat takes on water and tilts to one side) at high speed. That is due to very strong propeller torque, which refers to its twist-force. Assuming you have a clockwise prop, as water resists the clockwise rotating prop it will cause the boat to roll in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n
Torque roll can easily happen on a v hull boat when it is overpropped. The problem can be decreased by going to a smaller prop but a higher pitch for making up the speed loss.<\/strong><\/p>\n When your boat is small there is not much you can do to balance the boat using counter weight. Turn fins do not really help much either.<\/p>\n Trim tabs do not help much by themselves. A re-balance of the boat by changing battery placement can help a little bit. Still, unless we lower the power of the motor or switching to a smaller prop the torque roll will persist.<\/p>\n
