Montauk 17 Lists to Port Underway

Postby routlirh » Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:22 pm

[A MONTAUK 17 boat] sits in the water fine, but underway alone in the boat [to obtain even lateral trim] requires that I stand well to starboard. [This MONTAUK 17 boat] is powered by [an E-TEC 90].

Under the console is a single battery to port.

A swim ladder is to port.

Q1: for a MONTAUK 17 underway is list to port normal?

A boat with a right-hand-rotation propeller will often have a slight tendency to list to port.
