Default RE: Rookie Question

I'm a little confused. Don't talk to my wife she would say I'm a lot confused.
If the water rudder causes drag located on the left float, wouldn't the drag point the aircraft to the LEFT? Doesn't that offset the right rudder input? And since the aircraft is level on floats, wouldn't the P-factor be much less than an aircraft on land with a tailwheel?
How about two water rudders?
