Port side list
 

I have a 1986 20' CC. The boat has somewhat of annoying list to port while underway, unless weight is shifted to starboard. Anyone have any ideas as to what causes this? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

could be several things- most likely engine torque- batteries ,gas, lead (sinkers, dont laugh I have about 100 lbs on my stbd side)stuff like that stored on the side thats listing maybe. Also could be rainwater caught up inside/between the outside stringers with the drain holes in the stringer clogged up. trim tabs will fix the list quick if you cant figure it out, but i feel they are a neccessity/must on any boat!craig

All boats are made with a hook in the bottom of the boat
close to the stern. The boat could have come out of the mold a-little hot when it was manufactured, which can cause
what you are describbing. Buy trim tabs, problem solved.
I have Bennett 9x24's on my 20SF. It is the only easy solution
to your problem. See ya, Ken

My 20 MA did the same thing. I adjusted the fin on the motor and it helped, but a pair of bennett tabs solved it... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
