[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 472745, member: 12995"] How is your steering when on plane? If you let go of the wheel, does it pull to port? If so, maybe you need to adjust the tab on the motor. My boat is the opposite. It lists to stbd while sitting (I thought it was the weight of the cables and wiring causing it) so I have the gas tank and anchor more on the port side but it still leans. But while on plane it seems to pretty level. I was telling my cousin the other day and he stood behind the boat looking at it and noticed the motor is actually mounted off center to the stbd side. I never noticed it, I bought the boat used and changed from the prop motor to the jet motor and never realized it was off center. If your motor is off center it might cause the list, but I would think it list while sitting as well (although your kicker might balance it while sitting). [/QUOTE]
