1981 246xf listing

[captaincahill8]

I have noticed that my boat lists to starboard a bit at standstill as well as when under power. I am re adding trim tabs this fall to fix this when underway but anchored or on a mooring the boat seems to list. Im wondering if this is just from the design of the boat? As the helm and a majority of the wiring and such goes up that side.

I am thinking about maybe adding some ballast to the port side to assist with this but wanted to get others thoughts as well!

Here's a start. It's for a Genmar model but it gives some insight. Plus a few more.

Yes, you have a Hialeah hull which is slightly different in the in-hull drainage routes but the theory is the same. Hopefully you will get some ideas from these threads to help you look into the "why"

Good luck.

Thank you Capt. Bob! I will do some more investigating, but the fix will most likely be to add some weight to the port side. Bilge seems to be fully dry as of now and I am getting the proper drainage but maybe not. Ill report back !
