    Steering Pull

    Hello,

    Ive searched steering, steering pull, rutter adjustment, etc and Im having a hard time finding information.

    Ive just purchased a 2010 team ski 200 and it pulls BIG TIME to the left. Can I adjust the rutter to minimize the pulling. Has anyone had this problem with the new 200's?

    Thanks,

    Try searching "rudder"

    If your rudder has a trim tab on it, and it pulls left, move the trim tab slightly left.

    I know that sounds backwards, but more "left" on the trim tab moves the entire rudder right.

    At least I think that is how it works.

      haha, the spelling is getting bad as I get older. I do notice the adjustable tab is all the way right. I will try moving it left. Thanks

        If Daniel thinks something is the case about a nautique, take it as the gospel truth, because it is.

            Okay, not all the time, but I'd take the odds in Vegas any day of the week.

              Straigten your adjustable tab out and that should unload the rudder some. Some load on the rudder is a good thing, it makes it easier to drive in a straight line.

                I wanted to follow up and say you guys were right on. The new 200 is driving perfectly now after the tab adjustment.
