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.
