RZ2 listing to starboard

[355spider]

My new to me 2014 RZ2 lists to the starboard side a bit. Is this normal. This is with no ballast and no taps.

Is this at rest or on plane? What speeds? You say no TAPS, so what TAPS setting is the boat set to? Even weight distribution? Where is the anchor stored? Batteries in factory position? Heavy sub installed?

Exactly what Ewok said. Empty every storage locker, every compartment, remove everything that didn't ship with the boat. Hold it next to the dock, get out (zero passengers including no driver), and THEN look at the swim platform to see if it's level.

My Z3 does, but only 1-2degrees. Not sure what you what "a bit" is. I've always chalked it up to driver seat/driver weight on that side.

I might be able to assist here, my guess is when you plane the boat out it list to starboard as you mentioned. I was with D&P Powell on their second trip on their new Z1 we idled around a bit in the harbor no issues. Went to plane the boat out and it had a noticeable list, and as I am typing this I realize now that EWOK you were on this trip. and suggested to adjust the taps down 2-3 and sure enough boat squatted down and level out perfectly.

Our 2014 r20 does a bit too, I'm assuming that's normal.

That's why I asked those questions. If the TAPS plate was all the way down, TAPS 0-1, then it plows the bow down and the boat has a tendency to list starboard due to the torque of the engine (transmitted through the prop). Tige boats require some adjustment of the TAPS plate underway to properly trim out the hull. To use the the TAPS plate effectively, set it all the way down (0-1) to get on plane. Once up on plane and at cruising speed, slowly increase the TAPS setting, which raises the bow, until the bow starts to bounce up and down (porpoise). When the porpoiseing begins, slowly lower the TAPS setting (lower the bow) until the porpoising stops. That is now your optimum running attitude for your current weight distribution, speed and sea condition. If any of those 3 variables change, you'll probably going to have to adjust the TAPS plate again. I'm always adjusting mine and making corrections for sea conditions. It's not a set it and forget it type of control.

Also while under way hit the ballast empty switch , we have had a little ballast left in some of the bags and could cause this.

I'll work on the taps. Boat sits even at rest and is evenly loaded.

My RZ2 lists a bit when underway as well, though it sits perfectly level at rest. I always figured it had something to do with prop rotation, or just where i store my gear. Cant say its ever bothered me. My old Mastercraft did it as well.

The RZ2 is so sensitive to listing either way depending on where people sit. If it's just you in it, driving, it's gonna list to the right. Mine does it as well. It's really sensitive when we wakeboard too. People can't move
