Hi;
My wife and I just purchased a used 2001 Sea-Doo Challenger 1800. It is in great shape. One owner and garaged. Only used on the Colorado River. We took it up to Lake Mohave to use it for the day and I found the steering to be a little difficult. When we give it throttle at around 2500 RPM, the boat wants to turn left very hard and I had to fight the wheel to the right to keep it going straight. This worries me for my wife who wants to tow the nieces, nephews and yes grandkids around. The couple that owned the boat put on an aftermarket hydraulic adjustable plate under the jet to lower the nose at speed. Does this hinder the performance or cause the steering issues?
