2021 yamaha 255xd does not turn left great and pushes right

[NDFARMCHAP]

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

Usually the cause of that issue is the steering helm is not centered correctly and the rudder is also not centered correctly I always have my customers check all that and set the nozzles when they add my systems to the twin engine setups, It is a common problem

Is there a place to find the specs on that I set steer wheel center and centered everything off that local dealer is of no help because I did not buy it from them

The X models usually have their nozzles toed in to clean up the wake for surfing. I had steering problems like you have with our 212x when new. One of the outlets was in more than the other when the rudder was straight. If you put a straight edge across the nozzle outlets it should be flush when the rudder is straight. Super easy to adjust. Hope this helps.

First you disconnect the steering cables from the nozzles then you unhook the rudder tie rod from the nozzle then you turn the wheel all the way to the left and put apiece of tape on top then turn it all the way to the right and put a piece of tape on top the engines usually need to be running to do this. then set the wheel so the tape is even with the floor, again the engines must be running .
now hold a level across the 2 nozzle openings and have the rudder set at 90 degrees from the back of the boat. My systems use a patented second tie rod to hold the nozzles and rudder in the proper positions. Use the nozzle linkage to the nozzles with a 1/16 of an inch tow out away from center, then adjust the tie rods. basically I have my customers angle each nozzle slightly out from center and the rudder dead on center, My customers say the boat goes straight if they release the wheel in a turn and it does not have bow wander on plane. usually if the boat turns one way better than the other the wheel in not set evenly between the 2 nozzles and the nozzles are not angled 1/16 of an inch out away from each other from center.

In the service manual there is a measurement that you take from the nozzle to the transom. It definitely isnt the same as mine but there is an adjustment after the wheel is centered.
