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.
