Just bought my 2021 255xd mid season last year since I got it I've noticed it does not turn left well and when cruising at a higher speed I have to counter steer to the left quite a it to go straight. Have set steering and does not help I can apply more right throttle turning left and it just seems to spin out from what I can tell. Got it out of storage today after researching all winter I inspected inlets and I do have so sealing to do in the tunnels looked at impellers the best I could see them and the impellers themselves look good but the wear ring on right side is scratched a bit. Wondering if between the need to seal inlet and the wear ring If this could be the cause to my issue or not. I'm looking at Solas impellers but if it's not the issue would like to get that fixed first.
 
If your boat is pulling to the left and your pumps are straight then you need to move weight weight from one side to the other. Probably from the right to the left to make it go straight.

I've tried shifting weight with no luck the not being able to turn is what has me thinking the right side doesn't have as much push
