We have a 2001 Challenger with a Merc V6 Optimax 200hp that has just started pulling to one side when throttle is 3/4 to full power. Does anyone have any ideas in what could be causing this as we are new to the Sea Doo world.

Which way does it pull?

Which way does it pull?

It is pulling to the port side where we have to have the wheel turned to a 2:00 position to keep it going straight. When you let the wheel go back to the 12:00 position the engine sounds much better however the boat starts a slow turn. We have done a visual inspection of the impeller and there is nothing in there that seems like it would be causing this.

Any ideas?

Mine does the same thing. I have tried adjusting the steering cable but it did not fix the issue. Shine a light in your jet pump nozzle and check for stator damage. If you can post a pic here it would help.
