Same problem but but unrelated to power. The boat (stamas 255) leans to
the left... err... port. 200 pounds in the driver seat makes it level.
What the hell???

I was trying to find out some information if anyone has any ideas. Our
Sea Ray 205 Bowrider leans to the left when under power. It sits level
when it is dead in the water, but the minute you put it under power it
leans. And when you turn to the left it sits very deep in the water on
that side so it better be a very wide turn you are making. Yes, we do
keep our weight distributed evenly in the boat, but this is requiring
us to move our passengers to the driver's side to offset the problem.
We have had it checked by two Sea Ray dealerships and they can find
nothing wrong. They are saying there is no hull damage and the outboard
is in alignment. There are no trim tabs on this boat. The dry weight is
exactly what is should be. When we put it up for the winter it was fine
and the following spring when we put it back in the water it started
doing this. We are afraid to use it for fear that something tragic
might occur and we can't seem to get any answers from anyone. Any good
ideas. Thanks in advance for the help.
