CD330 Starboard List

Post by Denny Quirk »

Just filled the water tanks on recently aquired CD330, and boat picked up a pretty good starboard list. Boat is basically stripped of gear right now, and fuel tank in port cockpit locker is full. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Denny - Where are your batteries? I have found a need to compensate for the three batteries I have located in my starboard locker. The hot water tank and fuel tank provide some compensation, but when the fuel level is low I have a bit of a list to starboard (only noticeable when in glass calm water). The weight of the LPG tanks in the aft starboard locker do not help the situation.

The port and starboard water tanks tend to cancel each other out as they are the same sizes.

Good Luck with this wonderful boat. I love mine and have no regrets in the selection.
