RE: new boat, same problem
Very simple solution ... the engine is shoving that piston at aprox 11K and to the side to boot ...
either moutnt the engine up-right , or spark plug facing down ... Your "prop' walk , is being created by the R's from the piston .
( have you ever ran a weedeater engine in your hand and tried turning it ... you get that "prop" walk thrust at cha ...... same here . )
