I just bought a 06 V-ride and the steering if let go of the wheel wants to turn hard right. I know there is a adjusted on the rudder, is that for torque steer??

I am not sure about new boats, but older v-drives do turn due to the water from the prop hitting the rudder. Those were with cable steering though. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by 266crownlinebr on May 22, 2007)

My 04 VLX will drive straight as an arrow with the hands off the wheel. <BR> <BR>So it should go straight. Not sure what the adjustment is though.

Yes there is a flap on the rudder to adjust "positive pressure" on the steering wheel. This is also know as Rudder torque. <BR> <BR>This stemmed from Slalom days when the drivers wanted some "feel" to the steering wheel. <BR> <BR>If you think it is more than that, have your local shop adjust the rudder. <BR> <BR>http://www.waterskimag.com/article.jsp?ID=12220 <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by rson on May 22, 2007)

My VLX didn't have a tab so I ground the rudder to offset the pull. Works great now........
