Care and Maintenance

Tunable Rudder

The Tunable Rudder* is designed to
offer easy steering adjustment. This
system uses a composite tuning foil
which is located at the upper aft corner
of the rudder blade. Use a Phillips head
screwdriver to adjust the foil. Loosen
the two screws in the relief slots of the
tuning foil.

If the boat is pulling port (A), rotate the foil to port (B) and tighten
screws. If the boat is pulling starboard (C), rotate the foil to
starboard (D) and tighten screws. Always remember that movement
of the trailing edge of the foil to one side will cause the steering to
pull to the opposite side.

NOTICE

After each adjustment, test run and adjust again if necessary.
