    boat listing right at speed

    I put a whale tail on my Javelin 389FS to help it plane. It worked fine but now it lists <U>right</U>. I have a couple dings in my prop and I also have a slight 1" chip off of the corner of the whale tail. Anyone have any ideas whats causing the list? It is a pretty major list now.

    trim up and the list should go away, once the cav plate gets out of the water you should be fine. It is cause by an imbalanced load, once listing it will stay listed until you trim up enough

    Thanks but I don't think trimming up will help since it is a new occurence. I even took my two trolling motors out to see if that was it but it did not make a difference.

    I think Nathan's right. It's a new occurance because you just put the tail on. Once the tail is out of the water the boat should level off.

    Re: boat listing right at speed (billybass)

    Mine did it much less before I put the tail on, there are pros and cons to every add on. Just like it holds you on plane at a slow speed it will hold you listed to one side until you trim up.

    I like mine, becuase I can cruise slower, and helps get the nose down quick when waterskiing.
