As you increase the angle of the gate in relationship to the side of the boat it will tend to lift the non surf side of the boat making it list.
A nice side effect .

So ineffect the flow should list the boat without any weight, just the flow deployed
Not in my experience with gates which would have more potential of increasing the angle of attach to the water (like a foil) compared to a flow system. I have a couple degrees on mine to keep from water being scooped up. I can't tell. I've ran my gates without weight and there was no noted list.
Russ, two more ghetto gate questions.
What's the best way to measure the curve of the transom and do you think the pressure from the gate will crush the normal platform, non surf, with the gate?
This post Kept my busy all weekend , did a little experimenting as swell. The wake was the best I have ever got out of the LSV . http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/02/uqy3u6ag.jpg

Nice work. Now that's a ghetto gate....
