While I find that neutral on this boat (when properly adjusted) is much "more neutral" than my previous seadoo (utopia)...It is still a real trick to get it away from the dock after having not piloted it for a while. After being on the lake for a day, I could thread this boat through a needle. Double check that the gate is adjusted properly and then just toy around with fine movements. This boat will almost go directly sideways with proper shifting from forward to reverse.
Mine does the same thing. Its very annoying. I winch it all the way up flush with the roller in the water and after a bit of driving it sets back a good 6 inches. I recheck it after a few miles and retighten everything in the front and the rear.
