    this may answer your question as to why.....


    way more push on the left side causing the rudder to go into a right boat steer?

    Bumping this old thread. Last weekend while doing the break-in I was able to get it to 4000 rpm and 25-27mph or somewhere along there. When I let go of the steering wheel the boat turned pretty sharp to the right. I though hmm maybe I crossed a wave or something but when I let go another time at those speeds it wanted to turn to the right again. It does not do this when I was at slower speeds. With this being my first v drive I don't know if this is normal and just a characteristic of these boats. My steering wheel isn't hard to hold or anything and feels fine. It's just the boat sort of surprised me when I let go thinking the tracking fins would hold the boat straight. Anyone with a Max experience the same thing?

    I’m pretty sure they all do this at that speed due to prop rotation. I know my 2008 Outback V did. I’ll see if my max does as well this weekend.
