How come there is duct tape on your exhaust tube?

The foothold touches the exhaust and in theory help keep heat off the fiberglass.

Yea, that is what I expected to see. The last couple of squares I opened were soaked with water.

If it never leaned before and now it does, and you haven't changed anything, you may be developing bad habits and poor posture. I can support a much higher load with my right leg and am more flexible with my left. This affects my ability to turn. I can turn much harder and faster to the left than the right. Turning left I can get real low and stick the pump, but turning right my right leg/hip doesn't stretch as easy and my left leg can't support as much weight. So, I can turn much hard and faster to the left than to the right. Same as when I wakeboard, where I can ride left foot forward better than my right.
If you can't find any weight or handling difference in the ski, you might want to evaluate your riding style, posture and muscle balance. You may be surprised to find how much more you favor one side over the other.

So, is there a less destructive, potentially far less labor intensive way to check for waterlogged foam? My RN also leans right excessively but I'm a little uneasy on the idea of cracking the thing open just to find that it's dry as the Sierra. Would drilling a small hole near the bottom of the hull work? Maybe I could fill it with epoxy or 5200. Is there a sure sign place of where to check or can the logged areas be sporadic and random?

Its the battery.
When i put a b pipe with carbon chamber on my girls ski it started leaning. Buy a light weight battery, problem solved.

I make use of small holes and a vacuum pump. After drying out the foam you can easily find and fix the leak.

Noted in the lighter weight battery.
Kevbo, can you elaborate on the value pump and finding the leaks?
