Leaning 83 260 da

[Zklink5150]

Bought this boat 5 months ago and put it in today. I was blown away by how much it leans to the right while docked. I've checked everything and it is a mystery. Any ideas??? I'm about to name it eileen

Thanks

My 260 listed to the right as well. If you think about it, most of the interior make up is to the right (head, sink, cabinets, etc).

My 85 Amberjack 255 also leans to the right and it has a 10 foot beam.

I was wondering that when i fill the water holding tank (which is on the left) That it will help balance it out. Water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon and that adds up pretty quick. I also have an extra battery mounted on the right that i may move to the other side.

I have at 240DA that lists starboard as well. Should both batteries be on that side? If there is water in the hull, where is it?

I have an 86 268 that lists to starboard. Keeping water tank, that is on the left, at least 1/2 full balances the boat.

My 270 da does also. Coral Reefer beat me to it. everything is on the starboard side, not to mention the helm, wiring and fiberglass for the mid cabin.

I've damn near got it level...holding tank full, both batteries, h2o heater, and a full cooler all starboard. Anybody ever cut a transom door into their boat?????

I just got a 84 260DA that lists to starboard as well. Keep the water tank full and it will sit level. (Just tried it this weekend):thumbsup:

Holding tank full??

What have you been doing this past week :grin:

That is hillarious!! If I spent all my time in the head, the boat would probably go ahead and roll over!!!
