Alright guys, its about that time to start getting the boat ready for the season, fixing ods and ends, etc...

The first thing on my list is to correct the listing problem I have. The listing is only when in motion, not when anchored. Its to port side. Its not a whole lot, but enough to get people attention on board. Last season I did some trial and errors with help from the forum, and came to the conclusion that my boat is just heavier on one side. By the way, its an 88 fourwinns horizon 200 OMC I/O which the previous owner re configured the seating, and all the upholstery.

To correct he problem, I think trim tabs would work the best. I believe theres a few out on the market, but not sure which ones to get, and need your help. I do have a tower for wake boarding. I do not have a 'whale fin'!

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

the smart tabs, are good, but in your list situation, i believe, you would need to different settings. if you can afford them Bennetts are top of the line, hydrolic tabs, with the control on the dash. this way you can control getting on plave, and the list. i have the same problem with my deckboat batteries, water and holding tank are all on the port side, and no where to move them. plan on Bennetts in the future.
