How do I fix a lean??

[s2gots]

88 4winns Horizon 200 I/O

whenever the boat is moving, slow or fast, it leans to port side..Its not horrible, but enough to need fixing!! All the gear and riders are balanced on the boat...I think the boat does this because when the previous owner reupholstered, and reconfigured the seating, there is more on port side...is this situation what the smart tabs are for?? If so, any recomandations?? If not, how do I correct the issue??

TIA

Does it lean while not moving? If so, it's a fairly common problem. Easiest correction it is to just move some more weight to the starboard side. If she sits level at rest, then yes tabs would help keep the port side up.

If it sits level in the water when you are not moving it is probably prop torque making it list to to port side. Smart tabs can help and you can set the tabs at different settings to help adjust for the prop torque.

trim/anode on the drive set wrong?
No whale tail, correct?

Is your bow sitting low when you are moving, you may just need to trim the drive up a bit to get it to sit up a bit and ride further back where the hull is flatter.

Mine does that a little and I just play with the trim and I usually find the "sweet spot" where it will ride level. Might want to give that a try before you spend money on these attachments. Just a thought.

It does have the 'whale tail'...

Im not sure how to check the trim/anode on the drive..

When in motion, I do play with the trim to find the sweet spot, and it does help with the leveling out...but not completelly...
