Default Cig pulls left

Need a little guidance.

38 cig, bravo drives, no steps.

Tracks strait but when you turn left a little it wants to pull harder left. Does not do it when turning right. I am guessing one of the drives isn't set right. Where do I start? If I would let go of the wheel it would turn itself full lock.

Check the alignment on the drives[toe in and toe out]

It's a silly question, but you have counter rotaters right?

Yes.

Skegs are plumb. Guessing the toe is off.

If they are counter rotaters and the skegs are straight and you have the flat plate anode not the one with the little skeg on it, then yeah the toe is probable out of wack easily adjusted with the tie bar though. And now you are going to hear about 100 diffrent opinions on how to set the toe up

My vote is for setting both drives dead straight.
