                Is that strut flat? It still looks angled down. Also adjust the angle of the rudder. Make sure the bottom is pointed straight down. Where are your batteries placed? Try moving them forward 1/2" forward of stock. What prop is that?

                        In one photo, your turn fin also looks like it's got a permanent right turn bent into it, but it may just be the camera angle.

                        Make sure the turn fin is parallel with the boat's fore/aft centerline when looking at it square on from the rear.

                                Is the rudder binding?
