boat pulling right!

An old pro slalom driver told me they shave the rudders to drive to one side so in the course they keep pressure and don't have to constantly adjust like you do driving down a highway.

My old MasterCraft would pull right, the Moomba LS goes straight.

If I let go of the steering wheel mine will pull slightly right.

I chalked that up to the vortex that's hitting the rudder. The prop spins the water and that spinning water creates lateral torque on the rudders surface.

I imagine if your steering is pretty tight you'll notice it much less than if yours is loose like mine. Its not like my boat dives to the right but if you let go of the steering it definately drifts to the right.

My steering wheel spins to the right if you let go at speed...could be dangerous if someone else was driving and wasn't expecting it.

Thats typical of V drives as the prop is putting a huge amount of water past the rudder and it will force the rudder to the right as the rudder is off center to the prop
