My boat does this. Airplanes do it too – this is just how single engine prop vehicles work unless the shaft is offset. Joe Coquina ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated. If you

Yes, my 35 does this also, and with the larger prop and longer prop shat placing it closer to the rudder, it is quite pronounced. I use the friction knob on the pedestal to add some friction so I don't have to always hold the wheel so tight. It definitely increases with speed, so that my wimpy auto

Thanks everyone - this definitely settles the issue for me. I had a feeling the pull was there before so I'm not totally alarmed by the effect, and I will certainly try the immediate throttle-down to test the concept. I imagine it will behave as expected - not sure why I didn't think of that yester

Mine does the same thing. You should find that the pull is proportional to the engine rpm and boat speed. To test, you can accelerate to hull speed under engine power and then quickly throttle down to idle and shift to neutral. The pull should go away. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Sol

Hi all, So I recently rebuilt my rudder and re-installed it on Breakaweigh. We took the boat out yesterday and I noticed when under diesel power that the wheel is lightly tugging to the port side. I'm not entirely sure if it did that before or if this is a new tugging. If I were to completely let g
