Default engine torque still?

Although the props are counter-rotating, the engines are both standard rotation and therefore applying the same torque to the drives. My TRS boat is set up this way. Just a thought?

My cousin's 93 TG (w/ TRS) does this same thing. We have to drag the starboard tab down about 2-3 clicks lower than the port to get it to level out.

I think I noticed that the boat does seem to lean a little towards starboard when not moving. I always told myself it was my imagination because it was a Cigarette, right. Maybe it is weight distribution, but I have put a lot of weight on the port, and removed some on the starboard. I put my anchor with chain that weighs about 90lbs on the port back seat. I took out my toilet on the starboard, and nothing changed. I think my freshwater holding tank is on the port side, which is empty and has no water in it. Maybe I should feel it up with lead. I'm starting to think that Cigarette didn't balance the boat very well. Once I hit a big wave. When the boat was airborn, the boat shifted to starboard in the air. I didn't like that. It seem that if the boat is empty, the boat is not balanced. I wonder how many gallons of water the freshwater holding tank has. Maybe that will cancel the weight of the ice chest.

dont underestimate the full cooler everytime, think of the weight of drinks/food and ice, i bet it can easily be 80-100 lbs, ice weighs less than water, as it melts a gallon of water is 7.5 lbs.

It has to be something wrong with the running surface.
I agree

I'll fill up a freshwater holding tank, it is empty. That should help. Does anybody know how much water the freshwater holding tank holds on a 1994 full cabin TG.

I don't think the freshwater tank holds enough to make much of a difference. I thought some of the listing under power may have been due to the motors torqueing the boat over some, will pay more attention once we get back on the water.
