I have a 2016 242 , 350 hours. Fully maintained. The rudder- when we are on the full right lock position, is a bit sticky pulling back from it.
So turning left to right and back and forth is fine. But if you turn to the full right position, its a bit 'sticky' when you pull out.
I noticed this from the wheel, and also, when I go the back of the boke, and turn the rudder myself, if I turn from the full locked right position, it feels like its 'sticky' and have to give it extra effort to turn back. this doesn't happen from the full left position, or generally turning right to left and left to right.

Any advice on what's causing this?

Rudder issues seem to be rearing their ugly head lately The pin may be bent from striking the ground just disconnect the tie rod and move it by itself and see if it still does the same thing
