Re: boat tilting under power
tystick;<br /><br />This is very typical of a Torque list. The prop rotates clockwise and the boat wants to "unwind" counter clockwise. Therefor a list to port when cruising. This is why most boats will have the helm on the right starboard side to help offset the list. Common on aluminium boats, although also occurs on others.<br /><br />If the boat runs bow down at cruising speeds, with too much keel in the water, this list can be exagerated. This is also common when hydrofoils are used. The hydrofoil has increasinly more lift as the boat goes faster, and will tend to push the bow down. If the motor trim can not push the bow back up enough, the boat will "bow steer" and the list will get worse.<br /><br />The steering tab on the cavitation plate may help but it is likely that this is not the cause.
