330 express list to port

[choogenboom]

Any 330 Express owners have a problem with a slight list to port, especially if the main fuel tank is below 50%? List is both at anchor and while planing. I can get the boat level while at anchor with my full weight on the startboard gunwall.

My express lists to port too when at rest only.

When the diesel tank was full, you could not notice it though.

Thanks.

Also, filling livewell helps. :wink:

 

[choogenboom]

Good point. I suspect with the livewell full (300+ pounds) the diesel tank full (100 lbs) and the holding tank full (80 lbs) I would be asking why there was a list to starboard. If they were all half full it would likley ride level. I guess thats in part what trim tabs are for.

same is happening with me. slightly to port at rest but not on plane.

This saves me a weekend of chasing that issue.

thanks

I know I'm a little behind here but I had the same thing. I couldn't stand a list on a brand new boat. The problem is the batteries all in one spot. The dealer moved one battery towards the starboard side, almost centerline and that took care of the list.

were did they mount the battery to offset the list? shure would like to see a photo if you have one I was getting ready to add some weight in the form of lead to the starboard side any info would be helpfull.

thanks in advance Tony

had this same issue with my 33- my solution was to trade up to the 360, which is close to perfect.

Tony,
The boat is in inside storage. I'll be down there in the next few days and get a pic for you of the new battery location.

I had the same problem on my 30 Marlin. If everthing is where it's supposed to be from the factory, it's simply a matter of too much figerglass from the factory on one side. Grady paid to have ballast (lead) installed on the high side. This took care of it and only added about 100 lbs of weight.

Hey Sadie,

I see you are a Marlin owner in ILM. What is your boat and where do you keep it? What year?

 

[capeboter]

Sorry it took so long for the pictures. One battery was moved from the cluster of 4 (picture 1) to right behind the generator (picture 2). The specs from Grady allow for a list of 1/2 inch I believe. Moving mine was the first and, so far only, request that my dealer has dealt with.

ok pics didnt come thru i'll try again
