    1995 285 Pro XL tilting

    I have a 1995 285 Pro XL with a evinrude 175hp. I am running a 4 blade 13 1/4 X 25 PP Propeller. Whenever I take off and first get on plane The boat leans / tilts to the left. If I turn to the right slighty it levels out. Also it levels out when I trim up the motor. I have tried loading the boat on the driver's side but it makes no difference how the boat is loaded. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    It's due to motor torque. Mine does it, too. Once you get the boat on top of the water just trim the motor up. Everything is fine.

    You have too much HP, You need to put a 115 on it and it will be better!!!!!

    My 295 does it also!

    There is a fine line between \"FISHING\" and just standing in the boat going through the motions!!!

    Ah, the Stratos "lean".

    Mine does it also, it's no big deal.

    I had a 200 ProXL that did that. Didn't bother me that much as it was only like that for a few seconds then I was up on pad and boiling water.
