List to starboard

agwagon2000 · #1 09-23-2003, 06:43 PM

My 20 ft Seafari lists to the starboard under power. This is a very noticeable angle that is reduced when power is reduced or a 200 lb weight is on the port side of the boat. I have checked all obvious things and can only figure maybe the shop hung my new 4 stroke at a bit of an angle. Any thoughts would be most appreciated!!!Angle also is reduced as I reduce power.

Your motor's trim tab may need to be adjusted. Also, you should consider getting trim tabs for your boat, they would make a huge difference in your boating pleasure.

I thank all that responded to list to starboard. I have tried the motor trim tab in all positions,I installed a set of smart tabs which helped handling tremendously but not the listing. I will check on previous postings. Thanks!!!

My wife says I have list to starboard too. She thinks it's the kicker motor, but it's hard to say... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
