    2015 G21 Starboard lean

    My 2015 G21 leans Noticeably to starboard at higher speeds. Cruising under 18 mph and she rides fine but as I add power she starts to lean and above 25 mph it gets really noticeable. Had the marina check to make sure ballast tanks were emptying properly, that the surf system was disengaging properly, etc...they drove it and said it leans more than usual but couldn't come up with any smoking gun.

    Any thoughts?

    Is the marina a Nautique dealer? I mean a Nautique dealer would know if that unbalance is normal for a G21.
    I have a G21 and I need to add 200lb on the starboard to compensate. Do not worry. A lot of torque for a 21 footer...

      As stated its prop torque. Most add weight to compensate.

        Jose, thanks for the input. Yes the marina is a Nautique dealer and they contacted Nautique who said there is a lot of prop torque which will cause some lean at speed but this seems excessive on mine. I see other Nautiques on the lake who don't have a noticeable lean - but these are G23's & 25's. Compensating with the ballast tank i guess is the way to go.

        Thanks

          Get ya about 150-200# of lead wake. That way you can still fill your tanks to full and still be even. Plus, most have found that the extra weight to adjust for the prop torque is best placed mid-ship, not in the rear. Just my $.02

            Thanks for the help, I figured I was going to have to try different combinations of ballast in the port and belly tanks but with lead weight to compensate for the prop torque leaving the tanks free to adjust the wake is a great suggestion - thanks.
