    Weight distribution. Try to move some items that you store in the cabin. If that doesn't help you can move one or both of your batteries to the opposite side.

    A common issue on a 270. As suggested try moving things around. The galley on the port side adds some weight. There's some great storage at the starboard side of the aft cabin for items needed less frequently.

    Laker83 search the threads the 270 is a leaner lol! Check my past posts it leans. The only why to balance it out is to fill your fresh water holding tank. I usually fill it half way ish to correct the lean. No need to fill entire tank just adds unnecessary weight. We have water at the dock.

    I have 3 batteries on my STBD side - when the water tank is empty there's a BIG lean to that side, but fill up the water tank and it's good till it's 1/2 empty.. actually helps me to know when to refill :)

    My 280EC lists to port as well. I have the fresh water tank and 3 batteries on that side. I am going to move one of my house batteries to the starboard side to help even things out. Unfortunately I won't be able to connect them in parallel the Forum way when I do that.
