Default Re: Starboard list

Capt K. - Couple of things to check.

1. Adjusting the zinc trim tab on your outboard (your's might have worn away or fallen out of position)

2. Battery Placement - have you added a second battery, larger battery, or has the battery shifted? Mine was on the starboard side . . . many people have added a second battery to the opposite side (Mac _Attack . . . I beleive did this)

3. If all these two things check out . . . . have you noticed more water than normal in your bilge?

Like Seakindly said water in the foam in the will cause you boat to list.

4. Bennett or Lenco Trim Tabs will fix your problem and give you overall better performance from the boat . . . just make sure that your not overlooking the obvious stuff first.
