Steering control

[Turmelator]

Hello I hope this is not a stupid question. I was wondering if it is normal that the radius of curvature when I turn port or starboard side is not the same. My boat turn better starboard than port.
Can I have the same radius both side adjusting the jet thrust and the steering wheel ?

Yep they all do this. Notice it much more performing spin moves. Starboard kicks a$$. Port is fun, but well not as fun as rolling Starboard.

I know boating makes us feel nautical, but sometimes we go overboard with the terms
Just FYI, "starboard" and "port" describe sides not directions, i.e. they are nouns not adjectives.
Saying "I turn port" when you mean "I turn left" is similar to saying "I went bow" when you mean "I went forwards"

Even though we're all captains of ships it's still ok to say "right" and "left" when you mean right and left

The correct phrase is: .... turn TO port or turn TO starboard.

I hear what ya sayin @maboat and you are 100% correct but we ben killin da kings English for a long time now. After all, the Brits didn't leave here at the end of the Revolutionary War cause we dumped a little T in the watah in Boston Habah or kicked their asses in Yorkstown, they left cause we were killin da King's English and they couldn't hold their guns cause they were holdin their ears. (no offense @Britboater we are bffs now). Just sayin bro.
