In the pontoon learning curve rowing is among the harder skills to master. Your arms are of a very different strength so that alone makes you row crooked at first. Now when you mis in the wind turning your craft every witch way and you're in for a bit of a learning curve.
Just concentrate on actually not rowing the same strength in each oar. When you load up your oars ( I mean lean forward to gather yourself for the pull stroke) everything feels equal but as you pull them back the craft will go harder one way or the other. You only need to notice which way off of straight it wants to go and let up on that hand so you are then rowing straight.
Man that might not make any sense at all but it will only take a few days on the water before you're rowing perfectly.
