Does anyone know if the gas tank in a 2003 33 Outlaw is one large chamber, or is the tank divided into two chambers to feed each engine separately, or are there two completely different tanks to feed each engine separately?

I know it sounds like a strange question, but I'm asking because my boat seems to be listing just a bit to the port side and I'm trying to figure out if it's due to a shift in weight somewhere that I can't see.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Don't know for certain but pretty sure its one big tank. If there were seperate chambers you would need seperate fuel fills.

As far as the list, are both batteries on the same side? Maybe something with the galley and/or the water tank? Just guessing....

It's right under the cockpit floor, and
it isn't divided.

I'd be guessing it's something with the galley ??

Just one tank,,,, raise your starboard tab,,,, that will do it !!!!!

OK,,,, seriously,,,,, measure your drives in your running position,,,,, make sure they are even

Batteries are not on same side - they are under bench seat, one on each side.

I don't use the water tank for anything, so it stays empty (although maybe I should confirm it is still empty).

I don't have a fridge, microwave, TV, etc. in the galley area and I haven't made in additions or removed any equipment from that area that I can think of.

Tabs are both all the way up - ha, ha - funny thought though.

Was talking to local mechanic and he also mentioned looking at drive trim to ensure they are aligned evenly - will look at that this weekend when I get to boat.

I don't know - I'm definitely open to suggestions as to what else it might be.

sorry,,, had to say it !!!!

on the trailer,,, put the drives where you normally run the boat and measure from the platform down to the cavitation plate make them even, then adjust your indicators.

Does it do it only when running or when floating at the dock?

Liquid_Addiction

When running, it's pulling/leaning a bit towards the port side (just like you would expect your boat to do if you were to put a bunch of people or gear on one side, and you'd use one of your tabs to compensate for the weight imbalance).

When floating at the dock, you can see the water line is slightly uneven, listing toward the port side. It's pretty subtle - I want to take another look at it this weekend at the dock and re-measure it. It's definitely more noticeable when running than when floating.

I have not noticed my boat listing when just floating, but it might a little. It definately wants a little tab on the port side when on plane though. I have always attributed it to the galley with fridge sometimes full on that side (I ONCE told the wife it was her). Also I know that our props are counter rotating so they should cancel each other out, but both engines will torque to that side.....

I usually just remember to keep the cooler on the stbd side.

It has to be the drive setting, they are not in alignment. I have seen this many times on cruisers.
