Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Just got our new A24, loving everything about it so far. There are a couple goofy things but we are working through it. We took the boat out yesterday for the second time. Just got done with the 5 hour break in period. So I am traveling about 20-30 mph and I have a hand on the wheel and I can feel the boat want to make a hard left. So out of curiosity, I let go of the wheel and the boat aggressively turns hard left. I don't normally drive without hands on the wheel but lets be honest here. At times, on a boat, your hands come off the wheel. I read that it could be from prop thrust? Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks!!

Rudder just needs to be adjusted. There is a little adjustment piece on the back of it. First make sure it's sitting dead center.

ok, Thank you!

Keep one thing in mind though. There will always be some pull to the left even after the rudder is adjusted. Like you mentioned earlier, prop torque.

I had the same thing happened with my 2015 A22. They adjusted the little piece on the rudder but didn't seam to help much. I kept complaining because my previous Axis drove straight as an arrow. I think they finally had to realign something.

spoke to the dealer yesterday, they don't seem to be worried about it. They say its pretty common for the boats to go left. Seems kinda sketchy to me.

Mine pulls left

This is typical for an inboard boat v-drive or DD. True direct drives typically pulled even harder, this is to help with steering feedback while tracking a straight line. That adjustment tab can be dead straight or even counter adjusted to change the feel of the steering.

I went out yesterday on a 2017 A24 and there was zero pull to either side. My A20 doesn't pull either.

Ditto, and my A20 0 pull
