Maybe someone can anwser this..

this annoys me.. So out of water rudder straight wheel is straight.. Driving straight on the water the wheel is always 90 degrees left! Is this caused by the prop thrust needing a slight turn on the rudder for straight?

Has anyone ajusted the wheel for this or just deal with it?

How about a offical tige anwser also =)

Just about every boat I've driven is the same way.

I would love to have a straight wheel.

I agree...... I was thinking about adjusting it to the point that it will be straight when driving but off when sitting still

You can unbolt the steering rack from the under side of the steering wheel, adjust the steering wheel, and then reattach.

[Fiveflat]

should you unbolt the rack or the wheel?

I was thinking the wheel...

[Wickedcummins]

Id say best way would be.. Turn the wheel to the position its in when drivng. then unbolt rack. turn wheel straight then reattached rack! The wheel bolt pattern wouldnt allow it to be straight still being its bolt pattern

Straight is a relative term in a boat. Water currents, wind, weight, speed, etc all determine "straight".

Dont matter glass or waves my wheel is exactly 90left going straight

Wonder if the prior owner changed the steering cable or something and messed it up? Mine is pretty good.

[Wickedcummins]

Don think they would have it had 23 hours on it

I will check mine this weekend. I replaced the steering cable and had everything lined up. It seems that it runs off when in the water.

Mine did the same thing. Detached the wheel only, adjusted it, then bolted it in place.

That is exactly why. As others have mentioned there are many conditions that will influence the wheel position. It would all come down to when you prefer at straight wheel, at no wake speeds or underway speeds.

My steering wheel was the same way, I adjusted it's position by loosening the rack from the steering column and making slight adjustment to offset this. I opted to try and split the difference so it was closer under both circumstances. Steering wheel being centered on a boat is almost an impossibility. Keep in mind it is only visual asthetics and has no effect on steering performance.

I'm going to put this on my '07 22ve to solve the problem.
