David Alera does the same thing. As I understand it, the pull to port is a result of the prop clockwise spin. The wheel is about 7 degrees or so off center under power. But my Raymarine X5 wheel pilot has no problem with it, except in heavy seas. But that is expected at Alera is at the top of the capacity for a wheel pilot. You may want to wreck the tension on the belt.
