Hi guys - I am now quite concerned about an intermitent list to starboard in my Maxum 2400 SC3 (2007).
It has the Bravo 3 leg, so proptorque should not be a problem !
It stays perfectly level at idle, and even at high speeds when the water is calm. In fact, she will even stay level in a fair chop, provided the wind direction is ok and we're heading against the tidal flow (boat is mainly used in a fast flowing tidal river) But heading WITH the tide and a bit of wind up, is when this mostly happens - and I can tell you it is sometimes so severe that I would not even consider going into a fast starboard turn
I have been told that it is probably a reaction to fast currents and that I should fit manually operated trim tabs to control a level plane. I have seen a number of threads on different parts of this forum where people have had the same problem, and used trim tabs to solve it.
However, there is an argument that the manufacturer would have fitted trim tabs if they were necessary?
I would be grateful for any advice, suggestions, or even just general comments.
Thanks in advance
