Rib tilts at speed

I have noticed that my rib tilts to the left at +25Kt.
I have also notice that the skeg is bent (I think it was dropped onto the skid from a crane lift onto the trailer).
Could this be connected or is it something else, like prop torque?

Bent skeg wont be helping, and with a boat that size the location of battery / toolkit etc can be adjusted for balance, have you tried a bit of trimming out slightly ? Does it have trim tabs ?

one thing that has changed.
The anodes got replaced, I was told that Yamaha don't recommend the anode having the trim on it any more, so it now has the flat one (this anode is sited just above the prop).
I don't know if this could affect the tilt.

Assume you have tried trimming up slightly? That's the most obvious thing, if the engine is trimmed down too much for a given speed it'll make the boat run like that.
