Took my '17 FSH today in calm water and docked for a little break. I noticed beforehand that the boat seemed to be leaning left. More noticeable at docking. When my wife sat to starboard, the boat evened out much more. No water in the bilge, no load on the left any different than the right. Does the FSH draw fuel from port and starboard? Seems odd to me and only noticed it on it's third time out. Tank was about 3/4 full. Is this a normal occurrence? Thoughts?

Thank you

My SX230 did that too...I always attributed it to the batteries being on the port side. Is the live well on the starboard side....if it bothers you...fill it up and see if that evens it out :)

That's a really good explanation. The batts are there and are heavy. The last time I was out we did use the live well and it was not noticeable. Windier day then, but still, wasn't something I consciously caught. I think you're on to somethin'!
Thank you :thumbsup:

It sure is. Seems to be the culprit and I would never had even thought of it. As a community, our resources are pretty formidable.
