Very long story made short. Boat used to run straight as an arrow for miles. Had the boat worked on to fix a power/pitch issue in the props. Now the boat pulls dangerously hard right. It’s a full on workout to keep the boat straight or even make a left turn. I have looked at other posts amd typical speaking, you should turn the tabs in the direction it pulls and that should fix the issue. Only difference I have noticed is that I run a counter rotate setup. Two sets of three blades. So Could part of my issue be related to incorrect pitch in the the first or second “set” of blades? I don’t want to bend the tabs if it’s possibly not the issue. Would be glad to explain in much more detail if need.

Ok, when you run it up on trailer and the stick moves hard right, trim tab shall be bent to the right.
If on a plane, you run it up and let off and it still pulls, it is a hull issue.
As for the pitch, take a very close look at both sets of blades and their pitch marks, they should match left and right
