Hello. We're new Sea Ray owners...

Hello. We're new Sea Ray owners from Vancouver Island.  Wondering if it is normal that our '06 280 sits a little low in the stern?  Twin Merc 350's; Bravo 3 Drives; Nothing heavy stowed aft and no tender on transom.  1/2 tank fuel & 1/2 tank water. There is a Kohler generator.  Did a calculation that indicates 3% tilt to stern.  Haven't found any info in the manuals yet.  Thanks!

With all the weight in the stern, they do sit that way. If you put more beer in the bow, it will sit more level. Just kidding. But if you look around, they do all sit a little lower to the stern. I store stuff like tools and extra parts in the bow under the bed. Along with other things I might not need all the time. It does help level things out a bit. And with mine being a 300DA on a trailer, it helps with loading for roading the boat.

if you switch to all chain it'll help but those boat with V8's do sit low in the stern.
