Weird steering issue on my 'new' 2025 255XD

[tangbang]

I have had this boat for few months now; bought it new/dealer demo with 12 hours on it and today it has 47 hours on it.

The steering is very different between left vs right. The boat turns left on a dime, very jet ski like. Carves nice, great whips. In Drive-X, I can pivot about the center of the boat by just turning the steering wheel full left and using forward paddle. Tight donuts. Slow speed, fast, nice sharp turns.

It is very different turning the wheel to the right. The boat turns sluggish, takes much more room to make turns, definitely does NOT carve the turn, harder to whip, etc. In Drive-X, wheel turned full right and forward paddle does not pivot right away like turning left does. It kind of plows forward and begins to turn, eventually making a tight turn.

I assume there is some kind of adjustment that needs made? Mechanical? Electronic? Something else?

If you dont have it get a complete service manual, it will have the correct procedure to adjust your buckets and steering
