Rafting troubles

The raft would resist what direction we would be turning, the raft is moving perfectly fine and would not let us attack the spawn that were pretty much point blank, once we took a hard right and the raft would take a hard left (with the right paddle) (turn like so ----^---- at the spike) and I'm pretty sure the raft doesn't turn that quickly, also when the raft usually turns into a segment of the run (at the fork) where the raft usually turns directly towards the shore it would stay near the middle and turn slightly towards the left bank unlike it's usual b-line. And both times going to dock at the end the raft would zigzag on it's own. Steer right in the last statement was meaning steer correctly sorry about the confusion
