My boat is doing weird left turn

[tucker0104]

So, my boat has been doing this for a while but it seems like it is getting worse. I come up on plane and the boat kind of swings to the left then back center then swings again and it keeps doing this. It isn't the lake waves or weight of people in the boat because I have tried different things. It also seems like I really have to fight to get the boat to turn right but it turns to the left fine. Has anyone else had this happen? I have a warranty on it but would prefer to fix it myself so I don't have to drive to the dealership. Thanks for the help.

You got the twin engines therefore twin pumps? Maybe one or both pumps' steering alignment is out. Unless it's something simple like an unbalanced load i.e. all your passengers sitting one one side of the boat...

I do have twin engines. I have played around with the throttle and it seems like it is still doing it. I took the side it was turning to 2K rpm higher than the other side and it still does it. I said in my original post it happens with passengers or without.

I get exactly the same issue with mine and find the only way to cure it is to keep weight to the right side of the steering wheel, in other words hold steady pressure on the wheel turning right but without actually turning the wheel. I would like to find a permanent solution to this too,

Sounds like a weak pump to me, mine was pulling one way and they synced the engines and problem solved, and they were only a couple hundred RPM out of sync. Just my 2c
