Which side to grind on Rudder?

[auskier]

I have a 97 SN and would like for the stearing to pull harder to the left. I did some research on the board but seemed to find conflicting information. One post says to grind the right side one post says to grind the left side.

Logically I'm thinking it's the right side if I understand the mechanics of it, but I don't want to be wrong. If anyone has done this little project and can give me a definitive answer I'd appreciate it.

Right side, do it a little at a time, it doesnt take much.

Thanks I'll start doing a little at a time tomorrow and see how it goes.

I'd check with CC on this before you start grinding. My recollection is to increase port side load, you move the trim tab to the starboard. If you don't have a trim tab, to increase port side load, you grind on the trailing port side edge.
