Steering problem 2000 Seadoo Challenger with the m2 mercury motor.
First time I went out on the boat I cruised around under 20 getting use to it,right before it was time to head to the dock I went about 3/4 throttle and it took off and went fine.then after letting off the gas and returning to 3/4 throttle I noticed it veering left without me turning left.i compensated by turning a little right and it did t help.i slowed down and called it a day.next time I went out it did it again same thing only when going over 30mph.now the last time I went I started doing it at 20mph.so it’s getting worse.
The last time I went it was super windy and really choppy and I know the weather played some of a part but not all of it.
I had my wife turn the wheel while I looked and everything looked and sounded normal.
Any ideas on what it could be ?
I’ve read that nozzles could be doing it,or the actual cable could be messed up.Im more then willing to get my hands dirty and learn as I go but this is defiantly more then I know about this boat.it just makes me nervous because I take my family on this boat and I don’t want to scare them or mess up what we bought for fun.
And I do know on previous post that I’ve asked questions that I don’t reply,it’s only because I’m running outside to try what you guys tell me.please don’t take any disrespect.
I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t respect your opinions.
Thank you again
