Hi Guys

I need to find out what is the correct mounting for the rudder on a
offshore V hull.I have a TFL Hobbies boat Osprey,it turns great into a
right hander.
However under full power turning full lock to the left has little or no
effect.
If the acelarator is released as the boat slows down it will turn
tighter and tighter to the left,I think that the prop blast is pushig
against the rudder when turning left.


Thanks
Gavin

What servo are you running on your rudder?

Have you adjusted the throw on the rudder for left turn?

Try using a 6volt pack and a Y harness on your steering servo.
