Rudder Shaft Housing was created by steveb
My rudder shaft housing has a slant (starboard to port) of 5 degrees from perpendicular, on my new V10 Sport. Has anyone else experienced this? Appears to be a warranity/construction issue.

It's probably just a little bend in the rudder shaft.

Try getting some 10mm rod and putting through it to see.
Make it stick out the top and bottom a fair way for a good view.

Or just take off the steerer arm and put your rudder in faceing the wrong way and see if the tilt remains the same or reverses.

I'll bet it's just a rudder tweak.

Brought the ski to Rutabaga in Madison, Wisconsin, where I purchased it. With a shaft through the hole, the angle was clearly visable to them. Will be returning the ski to EPIC for their evaluation.
