1974 Chrysler 18' boat lists to starboard side.
« on: September 07, 2009, 03:28:02 pm »

I just recently bought a 1974 Chrysler 18' boat that lists to the Starboard side. What could be wrong and how do I fix this?
Thanks,
Tom  Smiley

Even out the weight in the boat.

Poss. install trim tabs if all else fails. Also see it the fin is bent on the motor. Perhaps you have a wrong prop. Is the motor square to the transum? Try moving the motor just a bit.

That would be my sugggestion as well, weight distribution in an 18 footer as well as centering the motor is critical to stability.
