Need to check the tracking fins, prop shaft, strut, and rudder to make sure none are bent. BKH

Is this problem new to the boat or are you new to the boat? The stuff the weeds grow in can cause all kinds of troubles!

Hey Guys, I put my boat in the water today and while traveling forward the boat was pulling pretty severly to the left. It always pulls to the left but it was real bad today. The faster I traveled the worse it was.
There is no free play between the steering wheel and rudder. All of the connections at the rudder and the steering column appear to be fine and tight. The rudder itself looks fine. I did have some weeds on the prop shaft, could that have caused this? |
