So somehow my rudder got warped. I was gonna take it off & straighten it out with a couple cynder blocks, but then thought it maybe had a curve to it by design? Just double checking. Also if I was to replace the stock rudder is there perhaps another model that provides Sharper turns? Thx

There is only one rudder for the Pro Angler. We had a smaller drum in the early ones that was too responsive but the boat would turn on a dime. It was a bit too sensitive for most people so we switched to a larger drum to tame it down. We don't have any of these anymore, but you may find someone on the forums or a dealer that has one laying around.

I have never heard of a warped rudder on a Pro Angler. They should be flat. I'd be suprised if you'll notice a difference though after you straighten it unless its really bent.
