DRIVE Neutral Steering Assist - 2024 and newer

Has anyone heard if the FSH (joystick) model has this issue?
Check out posts #42 & 43. @TeeNGee seems to indicate he has noticed the same problem, but is able to use the joy stick to help minimize the issue.

@TommyMcK Sorry I haven’t followed up with you yet, but I can neither confirm nor deny that this is neutral steering assist issue. 😊 However I’m willing to assume you’re right! Thank you for your time explaining it to me.

In the meantime, I’m still waiting to hear back from my dealer and have been talking with others about this issue. Hopefully I’ll have more information to share soon. Personally, this is an big issue for me. I hadn’t had a problem trying to retrieve anyone from the water in 15 years, but this Labor Day weekend changed all of that. It’s a long story, but it’s the kind of 💩 that keeps you awake at night. I’ve said it before, the way these boats behave in neutral is not only unnatural, but it’s also dangerous and only a matter of time before something really bad happens.

More to come.
