Finally I get to post this...


Well there's your problem

What? I'm cornfused...

So, he was probably running his 3000 lbs of ballast + passengers, son was boarding behind the boat (so, running 20-25 mph somewhere), he cranks a left turn to the limits of the wheel, on an 8-year old boat, 2nd owner, and wants the factory to cover the damage.

I don't see Tige agreeing to it. Especially after his big post and saying that he'll pursue legal action.

But, I am a moron and don't know much...

I agree, if you look at his posts of his wake he is going fast.

For some reason I feel the rudder would torque the other way in a left turn but.. what do i know...

With a left turn, the prop wash will apply force against the rudder in a direction to the back and right, either pushing the back right corner of the rudder mount upward, or the front left corner downward.

At least, that's my guess. I am not very good at fluid mechanics.

But im thinking if he pulled a hard left, like he sorta says he did, that the hull would slide, with the momentum of the 5k lbs of matter and bend it towards the inside of the turn. Thats just my poorly explained logic.
