Baller Dacon62 Posted September 17, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 17, 2017 Taken from ad copy... "The 2018 Response TXi has been built with Advanced Rudder Control—adjust the steering load and drive ski courses with the utmost consistency." Is this something new to adjust on the fly, something that can be adjusted easily while the boat is in the water, a new name for the adjustable rudder tab Malibu has had for some time or? @Chad_Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Scott Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Changed the trim tab shape and size. No grinding needed on 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mbabiash Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 Can it be retrofitted to the 17 model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 Every tourney boat should have an adjustable rudder...my 2000 model 196 has it why not the new boats???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller WoodySkier Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's unbelievable to me that all the tourney boats don't have an adjustable tab on the rudder. Nautique has had this for what 20 years? Malibu finally got the message but you have MC owners changing the steering connection and grinding the rudder. With all the advanced stuff on boats these days, this just seems like a really simple add that's not really complicated or expensive. Maybe Nautique has a patent on it?

Baller oldjeep Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 My 2012 Malibu vtx has an adjustable rudder. Has Malibu not been putting them on the response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mbabiash Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 Malibu has had an adjustable tab since my 99 response. Looks like they just changed the tab to a different shape and size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihacker Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 Must have been an option for malibu? My 2004 rlxi doesn't have it, my buddy's 99 lx doesn't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 Still curious if this is tunable on the fly? Adjustable rudder is great and all until you have to hoist the boat and swim under it to make changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tru-jack Posted September 18, 2017 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2017 my 2007 rlxi has the tab. I purchased from the promo director and it was shaved and was explained that the shave work best compared to the small tab to really dial it in for the course. are there any other changes on the 2018? am interested on the right deal promo 17 or can wait for 18 if they made any improvements?
