Hey guys, When we purchased the SN about a month ago we noticed it pulled to the left. We had quite of other work to do first so it was put lower on the list. Now I'm wondering what could cause this and how to fix. I believe the prop is stock but not sure if that is what would cause the hard pull to the left. Thanks! |

How hard does it pull? Mine pulls just slightly, as per design intent stated above. Maybe you have bent rudder. You can grind 1 side to affect it, but it would be best to figure out exactly what the problem is 1st. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Thanks guys - I did read there is a natural pull but if I let go of the wheel it turns dramatically to the left. Does that sound right? Thanks |

| Not to derail, but I also have to keep the throttle pushed down or it returns to the top. Is this normal or should I be able to push it to a certain spot and it stay. |

That's not normal. It should stay. ------------- 96 Super Sport Previously: 95 Sport Nautique, 1980 Ski Supreme |

Not true. Quite normal for it to pull back, though not all will. Depends on the strength of the return spring. Non-neutral steering is likely due to a tuned rudder. |
