Andrew:
My prop turns clockwise, therefore, when in reverse, the stern of the
boat is initially pulled to 'port' until there is sufficient water flow
over the rudder to gain steerage.
Now add to that, my prop shaft is not centered, it is angled to 'port' a
few degrees which accentuates the prop walk or pull of the stern to port.

I'm a bit puzzled by the talk about prop walk and offset shafts.
I've found that prop walk is pronounced when the shaft is on centerline, but
when the shaft is offset, it is offset to minimize prop walk. i.e. If the prop
pulls to port, then the shaft is offset to starboard cancelling the effects of
the prop walk in reverse. At least, that's how it should be done. Obviously,
others here are experiencing things differently, which I find surprising.
