My brother in law picked up a boat that's pretty much stock with a dominator pump, place diverter droop, and a hydraulic diverter
Drove it yesterday for the first time. Ran well
But when it got up on plane the steering constantly wanted to pull right. The steering is very light and smooth compared to my steering.
Any ideas? Can't think of anything?

Intake fin broke off?? May cause it too pull.

They are both there in good shape
No ride plate. Don't know if that matters

I had a place diverter pin come loose and wiggle out on mine. It caused some pulling

I'll check them again, but i looked over the diverter and theres no play on it.

Maybe a blown seal in the diverter

thats a good idea. I can pull it apart and check it.
i was thinking about calling up Place Diverter and talking to them about it too
Its a bone stock 460, so its not a power house. It has a dominator pump with an A impeller. Has a Place Diverter droop and a hydraulic diverter. It spins 42-4300 rpm at WOT.
Having never driven a stock boat, this is all new to me.
Im wondering if maybe it doesnt have the HP to use the droop? Was thinking about trying it without the droop

honestly that may happen. I feel bad because this is his first boat and he took my advice on buying it.
He has driven my boat, and i think he was expecting a bit more. Honestly i was too, but i have never driven a stock boat.
Im hoping i can get the thing dialed in a bit more for him so he enjoys it. He may sell it, but i dont want to burn him out on boats completely if that makes sense. If he can have a good time in this one on Labor day, then im happy.
He still may sell it and pick something up with some more power. But i want him to atleast enjoy what he has.

That's why we wanted it so bad, we didn't want anything with a wazoo engine. I will say that I miss a year-round boating season.

I think if it had another 50-100 hp it would be a completely different boat.
Shit... may get this thing dialed in then he will want to sell it. Might be perfect for you by then
