Rudder trim / pulling

[Woodski]

@Clearprop:  If you can visually see a difference, there is an excellent change it will be very noticeable.  When tuning a prop for slalom skiers, where one wants the boat to pull slightly or moderately to be easier to control through a ski course, small changes make a significant difference.  @ahopkinsVTX has the suggestion I would concur with, if incorrect rudder it should be a simple swap to correct the issue.

Malibu confirmed... wrong rudder.  It goes to the shop tomorrow.

That’s annoying for sure but if it solves the problem and pretty minor thing in the grand scheme of things!

Nice catch to figure that one out!!

I sure hope that's all it is/was.

Super stoked to report that the rudder fixed all pulling issues.  Just picker her up and she's driving BEAUTIFULLY

Great news - an interesting thread; who would of thought someone at the factory would put the wrong rudder on your boat.

Good to hear. Did you ever get the hole repaired? Any idea what caused it?

Interesting....glad you found the real problem. Does that mean there is someone on a Sunscape 25 wondering why the boat won't turn?

The hole came from someone at the factory that went a little 'drill happy'.  The hole was from the inside out... odd but repaired.  I'm just happy that everything was fixed in a timely fashion and all is well!
