Default 290 SC listing

Put a few hours on my 290sc finally and have noticed it consistently lists to the port side while under way.... Have to run quite a bit more tab on that side to level it out..

Is this normal ?

My fresh water tank in not installed and I do have two batteries on the port side..

Also I'm running a RH 5 blade prop.. Could that be the culprit ?


Anyone ever try a LH prop on one ?

THANKS !

Doug

Doug, I don't have issue with mine but also have battery on starboard side to offset the 2 on port. Could be prop torque from the 5 blade. Do you have fridge and microwave up front and are the tabs in sync with one another? Running a 4BL Bravo on mine with fridge and microwave.

Mine did the same. Relocated a battery to stbd and she flies very straight now. I was doubtful it would completely correct the list. Thus I was pleasantly surprised.

Looks like weight distribution is going ot be the answer..


I tried a LH prop on it this past weekend.. STILL listed to port..

Have to move some batteries....
