Boat banking to the left?

Hey guys,

took my boat out for the first time today, ran nicely, everything fine, except when coming off a wave, she leans pretty heavily to the left before touching down..... Any ideas why this would be?! i took the plug out of the hull at the stern when i was back on the shore, and there was no water in the hull cavity.

Cheers,

Simon

Assuming you dont have too much weight on the left which happens .. Its the torque from the outboard .. you dont mention anything about your set up ? is it a big engine ?

I think I may have the same thing happen but our prop does need a small repair.
we have a 115 opti on a 5.3 destroyer so could be the power.

I thought the 5.3 Destroyer was rated at 90Hp!! So yeah most probably is the power.
