Hey guys, I took my new to me boat to the water for the fist time and had a questions for you guys. First off it is a 1997 Fisher with a 90 hp force. ( keep the Fisher and force joke, comments to yourself please). Now when I'm just running along on plane I noticed the boat leans to the left. I have nothing in the boat but myself, the boat has a 24v trolling motor on the bow two batteries for trolling is on the left side and cranking battery is on the right.I had a full tank of gas as well. I'm 240lbs so not sure what is going to happen when I get a partner in the boat?? Any Ideas or what I can do to balance the boat out? Is it going to change every time I go out?
Thanks for a great site.

I have the same boat only with a 75, check your trimtab (its the sacrficial tab of zinc) pretty big that looks like a sharks fin upside down, just above the prop, mine gets loose and does the same thing, more leaning to the left, tab may be off, turn it the opposite direction, but only just  a little, It doesn't take much from my experience.

just my 2 cents
