Try this. Keep the boat stationary, get on one side of the boat. Power the motor up and keep an eye on the prop. Notice if it moves in orientation.
nope... at least very minimal ( maybe 1/8 " )

Mr. cajun, did not try the weights thing yet, but I did put a flap on, did no good[:@] .

the boat weighs 29 pounds, thrust is at 17 pounds, what is the ratio supposed to be? and is mine too much? Maybe I am overpowered
