Curious if anyone noticing a wondering back and forth …I’m experiencing on my 2016 Sea ray 350 slx Axius system . It seems you have to do a fair amount of zig zag back and forth with steering wheel. Is there some type of adjustment on these ? I watched a professional captain struggle with it and I have been driving boats for years
Thanks!

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,...... My guess would be V-hull wander,....
Typical for single motor V-hulls,.... Less operator input usually helps,...

Bondo is dead on. I do find dropping my trim tabs when slow motoring helps a bit. Just learn to trust the wander.

A web search confirms that same direction rotation does create some serious docking problems. Reverse Gear being the worst.

Manufactures have not installed twin same direction rotating props since probably before I was born
