    Posted: July-06-2017 at 6:19pm
New to the forum, but not new to Nautiques. I use to work for a marine that was a dealer.
And when I was younger my family had a '94 Sport Nautique that a car landed on, but that's a story for another time.

I purchased a '89 Ski Nautique last summer.     We noticed it last year and again so far this summer.   The boat list to the right side under power.   

Now before you say that the driver needs to go on a diet, we've already played that out.
It's doesn't matter where the weight is in the boat, she leans to the right.

She does sit level in the water, however.   So am at a lose.
If we are out anchored, she does take on some water.   My guess would be a bad seal on the output shaft or rudder.   She is almost 30 years old.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Which way does the engine spin. Sounds like it got repowered with an automotive engine spinning CCW (from the flywheel end). The more power used, the more it leans to the starboard side.

^^ i would normally agree, but an 89 should have had a standard rotation engine paired to a 1.23 trans (allowing the same RH prop).

I'd like to see some pics of the boat (to verify year), and the prop.

It's a 89, with the original 351PCM and a standard 14x16 prop

Better yet, which way does the prop spin going forward looking at it from the aft?

Robert,
Are you the original owner? Also, is that "standard" prop a RH or a LH? We've certainly know and heard of the bad effects of people dropping in LH (standard rotation) engines in DD 1:1's but how about a RH (reverse rotation) with a 1.23?

Based on his model number, its a RH propeller.

Wet foam should make it list when sitting still, I would think. Give us a pick of the running gear from the back straight up. Is anything bent?

If there was water below the floor why would it sit level at idle or anchor, and lean to starboard under power? How long did marine engines sit around, because that intake was cast in 86? Engine was assembled in December of 88 according to the tag Have to assume it is a lefty with a reverse drive tranny and ends up at a righty prop by the picture.. Fins and rudder all straight and perpendicular to the bottom?

Yeah-- right about the foam--would not change from sitting to running. A picture from the rear straight on so we can see the alignment of all running gear might show us if there's a bent fin, cutlass or rudder.

I'll take some pictures of the running gear.
And I'll make sure to take some pics of it floating.

I'm starting to leaning towards the wet foam issue as well.

You might throw a straight edge on the bottom. Maybe somehow it hooked on one side.

You stated that it looks level on the water, but use the ski platform as a reference. See if the platform looks level to the water. Also, if it is several inches above water you foam my not be overly wet. There has to be some wet foam for a boat that age, but if the platform is almost in the water that is a sign of wet foam.

You may be able to just tighten the shaft packing with a few turns of the nut. Too tight will burn the packaging. You will want several drips per minute. The rubber packaging needs to be tight. It is best to just change out both, but you may be able to get it through until winter.

Not sure if the 80's boats show this but you better see if you can have the factory records pulled up before you measure any list. Art pulled up my '95's last winter. Something like 24 pages long,included in the pages is the water test---   1/2 inch list from new

Not so fast. Our 88 platform was pretty much right in the water from brand new. Depending on the location of the wet foam (if there is any) can lift a platform out of the water just as easily as lower it. Not a very good reference IMHO.
