Default strut sharpening???????

At high speed, my cat veer's to the right..I want to know which side of the strutt do a sharpen, or do i only sharpen the skeg. to correct the problem. I dont want to move the full strut over 1/4 inch. Some recommend sharpening the left hand side as others say the right. Im just a little confused. IMO i think it should sharpen the right hand side, looking at strut from the rear, leaving a bigger wedge on the left, which in turn should push the nose of the boat to the left. This may be a "no brainer", but i just wanted to check with you guys first.

Cheers Scoot

Sharpen the rudder even on both sides , and the skeg....the right side should be flat and the left side should have the bevel edge.
