    2014 210 leans when even ballast?

    My boat leans to strbrd side when evenly weighted, full ballast. Tanks on both sides seem to be full. Anybody else find this?

    1) Driver weight
    2) Prop torque when driving

    if the difference is bigger with full tanks, then i would check if everything is really full.

      Absolutely. When I pull my wife I fill the port tank about 3/4 full and the belly about 3/4 full and nothing in the starboard rear tank. Perfect on both sides.

        Cedarcreek - you set yourself up good on that one, but I am going to resist the temptation to spike it!

        As to the message, check tanks themselves (fill until overflow) as gauges aren't always accurate and factor in all weight in the boat.

          Prop torque.

          1. Driver needs to lose weight

          2. Keep ~100-150lb lead on the port side to offset.

            Cedars post was pretty funny.

            It's due to the prop torque. Even when weighted completely even while floating the boat will want to lean starboard. Grab some pop products or lead wake bags to throw on passenger side. My 08 does the same thing. I always fill so boat is leaning ever so slightly to passenger (port side)side while sitting still. The more aggressive prop you run the more weight you need to balance. Your situation is completely normal.

                Checked tanks, they are completely full. I run them till overflow. Its even leaning when its just floating with nobody in the boat?? I guess its normal as I'm reading here. The weird part is that I don't think its always done it?? I could be mistaken and its not a huge lean, just seems odd..
