Hi Rich,
I don't think my prop is offset at all – it looks as if I have to take the rudder out to remove the shaft (although I've seen the rudder notched on one 424). That might be the reason Pelican walks all over the place.
This is one of the funnier threads – the net net is that if you look like you meant to do it, no one questions. (I meant to find that darn rock…)

This is common. At full throttle, it takes two hands to hold the wheel. Pearson offset the propeller shaft to starboard to allow the shaft to be removed without having to cutoff the rudder skeg. When combined with the left-hand turn of the shaft, this makes the boat turn to starboard when under power. IMHO, Pearson should have offset the propeller to port instead to compensate for the prop rotation rather than enforce it.
