Axis Exclusive Adjustable Rudder System
Your Axis steering is custom calibrated at the Axis factory
at the time of manufacturing. However, it may be necessary
from time to time to adjust the steering due to normal
operations. Axis Boats’ unique adjustment feature allows
custom calibration to your specific driving needs. The Axis
Adjustable Rudder system allows you to increase or decrease
the amount of load that is typically on the steering system.
If it is determined that your rudder needs adjustment, you
can do so by adjusting tunable feature located on the
trailing edge of the rudder surface. Locate the two hex-
head retaining screws. Loosening the screws will release
the adjustment tab. If your boat pulls to the right, slide the tab to the right 1/8th to 1/4".
Do not move beyond this point. Only minor adjustments are needed to make a correction.
Note that it may take more than one adjustment to get the desired setting. Tighten the
hex-head screws when adjustment is completed.
Make sure the hex-head screws are tightened after each
adjustment. Failure to tighten the screws could cause erratic
steering and serious damage could result. If you are unsure
of the correct procedure to conduct this adjustment, it is
recommended that you return your boat to your local Axis
Boat dealership for assistance.
