Starboard list

[Guest]

Hi guys-
First off, thanks to those who posted advice on getting my mercury 50 hp motor ready to run after 2+ years in storage. It runs GREAT!
That leads to my next problem. The motor is attached to a 16' Bluefin side console, and it pushes it pretty well. However, when the boat is on plane, there is a pretty good list to the starboard (right) side. At first I thought my transom mounted transducer was the problem, but the list remained after i removed it. I sit on the right side (obviously), and go a good 250 lbs., but when I stand and shift to the other side, it doesn't change. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

The obvious thing to look at first is how the weight in the boat is distributed.
Next thing I would look at is the hull, are there any dents or a hook near the transom.

When you say it leans to the right or when under power it pulls to the right? I would think the leaning is a loading issue but the pulling is another ,check out the replies to a similar post.Metro

Right now the boat has only a 6.6 gal. gas tank, 2 batteries (one on each side in the back of the boat), and me, so I don't think it's weight. I will go and check the hull, however. Thanks, ST!
