So, my boat has been doing this for a while but it seems like it is getting worse. I come up on plane and the boat kind of swings to the left then back center then swings again and it keeps doing this. It isn't the lake waves or weight of people in the boat because I have tried different things. It also seems like I really have to fight to get the boat to turn right but it turns to the left fine. Has anyone else had this happen? I have a warranty on it but would prefer to fix it myself so I don't have to drive to the dealership. Thanks for the help.

Tucker, my 2005 has always steered this way. I attritubited some of this behavior to the wind drag on the wake tower but it could just be the hull design or twin jets. (Most tiwn outboards have counter turning props, not the case with the twin jets) I have learned to constantly hold a bind on the steering to one side which prevents the wig wag, but it can be tiring. Sorry but no viable solution.
