Default no turn fin-tunnel

Will a tunel hull preform well turning LEFT and right without a turn fin?

well, technically, because the prop turns that way, and most outboards have a somewhat built in turnfin on the bottom the lower unit, then yes....but im only guessing....

tunnels don't really use turn fins, turning left and right is not a problem with tunnels, since this is an outboard i assumed( coz there is an inboard tunnel too) the propulsion is the one that makes tunnel turn and of course with the help of rudder..if ever u see a tunnel with turn fin probably there is something wrong with the hull design...just my 2cents..i mean 50cents.

WW hit it. Only old or poorly designed OB tunnels use turn fins any more.
Do you mean fitty cent?

Because of propeller torque, tunnels generally turn better to the right than the left. However, they will turn left.
