Default Boat lists to the right.

I have a 93 27 Fever that is set up for LH prop. When the boat is on plain it likes to list to the right with the tabs up. If I adjust the starboard tab I can fix the problem. Will setting it up to run a RH prop fix this problem.

most single engine boats while on plane have that flaw because of engine torque.at least thats what I have found.My 2cents

If you think it lists to the right, hold on to your drink if you put a RH prop on there. Owned a few, and a 27 Fever in mid range with RH prop, really lists LEFT.

Sounds like yoou need to pull the trigger and go twins. I am sure that someone on here could sell you a nice new Baja or Fountain. Deals are hot right now and gas is cheap. What a great time to get rid of that anoying listing to the right that those single engine boats have. (Will, this is were you come and put the sales close in)

I hoping to balance it out by going to a RH. The boat is listing really hard to the right now. A buddy of mine has the same boat running a RH prop and his boat seems to ride just fine.

Throw a 525 in it (or bigger) That will fix your problem!

Go ahead and try it, the bravo props list less than Hydro, in either rotation.

Best of luck

check your tabs one might be sticking. I have a 1999 27' I run a hydro left runs true.

Both tabs work. I will be changing out the mirage for either a hydro or bravo, just not sure if I should go left or right.

My '94 27' ran a LH hydro and had no lean.
