Any one have a 270 sdx outboard?...

Any one have a 270 sdx outboard? I noticed my boat has a slight list to the starboard side at the rear. It sits about 1.5” deeper in the water when the boat is empty. I know the trim pump and steering pump are far on that side at the rear, so it could be that. Anyone else with this boat that can take a look to see if yours does the same thing?

Paulswagelock1- my 2019 SDX 270 does have the lean (not just when empty) I know it because I recently moved it to a wet slip and I know the new bottom paint is level, but the algae waterline is different on each side. On one side it’s above the bottom coat and leaves a stain in my gel coat and the other is cleanly in the bottom paint.

Probably an 2-3 inches different side to side.

Thanks for confirming so I know it is a design issue, not my boat. The two pumps are in that rear corner so probably part of the issue. By the schematics the water and fuel tank ok centered but when I drain the water and run the fuel out I will check to see if it lessens any.
