My first inclination when I read the title was the bending in the rudder was more of a permanent "trim" setting so the boat tracks straight under power (counteracts torque). It very similar to the trim setting on a outboard. If you look at the rudder on my Nordic in the attached picture you will notice the thicker portion of the rudder at the end. That thicker portion is all on the right side of the center line of the rudder in effect giving it a 3/4" or more bend to the right. That's not to say there isn't some type of damage to the rudder post, but the bend in the rudder may be normal.
