I have a 2005 38 w/525's. I picked up the boat new on friday and used it fri, sat, and sun morning with no issues. I took the boat out sunday afternoon and the boat is listing slightly to the port side.

When the boat is at idle it looks as if the waterline is 3.5-4.5 inches lower on the port side. The only difference I can think of is that on sunday afternoon the boat was filled with fuel in both tanks where as on Sunday morning and on friday and Saturday the port side tank was had less then 50 gallons in it. The fresh water tank sits on the port side and that has been empty since I took delivery.

Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Did you pull from both sides or just the starboard tank?

I am not sure what you mean. As I understand it the motors pull from separate tanks. If this is the case then in theory the fuel burn should be pretty much the same.

Thats a lot of drop for one side. Fuel tank differentials should
not be great enough to cause this. unless the starb tank is leaking and the bilge pumps are picking it up? NOT. Double check your math and level. Validate your problom. You could be suffering from new Fountain owner anxiety?

Two other things to check. Maybe someone added a tank select valve to your set up. You should be able to back track from fuel filter easily.
Second, Unlikely but maybe the fuel return from motor has been changed to return to the tank instead of to the filter as usual.
GCAT911 may have it right.

if you have a generator , typically the generator pulls from onr side, not both. if you use itr for extended periods this could be why you have a listing issue.
