Boat Leaning

With imbalanced tankage side to side, you will have an inevitable range of list depending on how full the tanks are. Shifting rigid ballast around will only shift around the list angles, but will never remove the list other than perhaps at one tank level.

Perhaps the best approach is to ballast for even trim at mid tank level. Then with full tanks you will list to port, and less than half you will list to stbd. But one way or another, your trim is going to change based on tankage.
