Boat leans to left a high rpms

[kenco]

I recently bought a Bayliner Capri 88' w/ 125 Force outboard 88. Every thing runs good but when I get up to 20-30 mph the boat has a lean to the left only about 10 degrees. The battery is on the left rear of the boat, and the gas tank is center rear. Steering is ok on pull one way or the other. Nothing is stowed on one side that would cause this. Does anyone know what might be causing this lean?

Re: Boat leans to left a high rpms

The most common cause is a torque list caused by the prop. The prop turns clock wise and the boat wants to roll to the opposite side. You may have a three bladed stainless steel cupped prop which might make it a bit worse. It is correctable in a number of ways.

Try adjusting the trim...friend had similar problem with a 17'CC and brother-in-law's pontoon would pull heavily to one side until I showed him the trim button. It helps negate the torque nautiJohn mentioned.
