Default have a question about port side list.

Just bought a 98 checkmate covincor 253 and is seems to list to the port side bad at about 25-30 mph. try to adjust it with the tabs but its real touchy. almost seems like you have to bury the port side tabs and have the starboard side about half. I have it trimed all the way down. wondering what i can do to fix it.

Trimming it up some usually helps.

Its the nature of a single deep V. Its from prop torque. Its worst at slower planing speeds. It should go away as you increase speed and trim out. A different prop might help some.

Yup, a little positive trim should fix it.
