2022 GTI 170SE leaning/listing left

[alexjcgdf]

I have never had a PWC before so I am posting here even more to understand and learn about it.
I had noticed that in low speeds +-4/6kph or just with the engine running even on neutral, the PWC tends e remains listing to the left, just a little but is sensible to the point I complained to my wife that she was not well seated... but she was there just fine and balanced. Is this a normal PWC's behaviour for this situation?

Thanks

no...jetskis sit pretty level when you are on them...Make damn sure you aren't filling up with water inside or you will sink !

No water on the hull. What else could be? As I said I'd not much listing but is something for sure. In cruise speed you don't see it.

Another leaning new Seadoo 170 GTI SE model leaning to one side in the forum earlier this week - link below. There are other posts from prior weeks and months. I have a 2021 model 170 GTI and I haven’t noticed mine leaning, but I will pay more attention next time I am on the water.

There seems to definitely be something going on with some of these skis. But the advice and direction is to bring it up with your dealer and see what they suggest and maybe reach out to Seadoo customer service if you are not satisfied with the outcome. I haven’t heard of anyone sharing their final outcome.

Anyone else have a port heavy SeaDoo?

Funny thing about that. I have a frien dthat has a GTX 155hp and he feels like that either, kinda leaning to the left in low speeds.

with the engine off, by the time it is dropped to the water dont seem to lean. looks very leveled.

Yep, tilted to the left.

But what the guy from the boat garage said is that all of the GTIs and GTX 170HP that he has in there are like this.

All.

Yeah cause the engine, battery and exhaust are all on left side. Supercharger apparently counterbalances it but I don’t have one

Not the best picture, but I finally looked at my 2021 GTI SE 170 closely... it also leans to the left - with or without my gas can sitting on it. I haven't ever felt any handling issues or concerns. But they definitely lean a bit left and is a normal characteristic of the ski.
