boat listing to left

[Dougie1]

Hi,
Im new to boating. My blackhawk lists /tilts down to the left when motoring, it seems ok when moored. Does anyone have any suggestions why this is happening?
Cheers,
Dougie

hi. its due to the rotational force of the prop.the 535 does it quite a lot due to the steering being on the left ( a little worrying in heavy sea from the left side..). you will notice there are very few with this setup, most are on the right.

thanks Jim,
Any way to set-up to reduce the effect?

had a boat that did the same,
smart tabs make a big difference,
you could try offset the outboard about 1 inch, itll help with the prop torq.

i try to keep most of the lardy passengers on the right side also a set of doel fins seem to help (cheapy fleapit ones for about £20) plus battery, reserve tank, backup outboard that side also..its just a bit of a balancing act really. shouldnt be too much of a problem unless in a snotty sea ..
