05 TE SV-211 Pull to the right?

[surfdh74]

Boat pretty much has been perfect until Saturday after noon. It started to pull the right? First time this has happened? Is there a adjustment I can make? Or should I let the dealer take care of this problem? Is it ok to drive and ride with the boat pulling to the right? Alright thanks Later!!!

There is a trim tab on the rudder to adjust the pull, see if it is loose or if has moved.

If you find the trim tab has moved or is loose, you can fix the pull by re-adjusting it. On my '01 AN, it is held into the back of the rudder with two phillips screws.

If it pulls to the right, you can move the trim tab to the right (looking forward) to compensate.

Ditto if it pulls to the left, just move the back of the tab to the left.

Assuming you haven't hit anything, I would say it's the trim tab on the rudder, those screws do come loose. If this is the case, you can dial it in just like coloradonautique said. It may take a few tries to get it right. After you get it dialed, you can take one srew off at a time, put some thread lock on it, and re-tighten, then do the same thing with the remaining screw. This way you will secure the screws and not lose your adjustment.

After making adjustments it fixed the problem a little. Still needs to dial it in a little more. Thanks for the help to ALL!!! Very much appreciated!!! Later Good Butter is coming all of your ways!!!!
