You will be pretty hard pressed to find a better filter than the OEM. I

Did you have to fight the helm before the rebuild? If not, I'd suspect the

Joel,
The rudder was rebuilt last winter (2012-2013) so I'm wondering if the
shaft is tilted in the rudder. I think bent would have been noticed. I
was considering some sort of trim tab. Or maybe building up one side to
change the hydrodynamics.
Thanks for the compliment on the shine. No it's
Josh,
Hard to tell. Is the rudder post bent slightly to port? Is the port side
of the rudder flatter than the starboard?
BTW, nice shine. Poliglow? :)

Hey folks,
I'm interested I hearing your thoughts on the video that I have in the
link. I haven't taken any measurements but I feel like I can see some
asymmetry between the rudder and the keel. The helm pulls hard to port
which requires quite a bit of pressure and a spoke of wheel to starboard.
I failed to mention in my earlier email that the hull wet sanding was done
with 1200 paper.
