Soon To Be 210 FSH Owner

Were they able to do anything to help it?

I haven't gotten it back yet. I took it in a week and a half ago and they said they were 2 1/2 weeks out. Once I find out I'll let you know.
 
So I tested my theory today and filled the live well and made sure to walk to the front along the starboard side to attach the winch. Boat was loaded twice and both times it was as even over both fenders as anyone could ask for. I guess this will be my new loading routine for now.
 
So I was put yesterday and instead of powering on like I normally do I was at a ramp where the dock is so close that I could just winch it on. Wind was blowing pretty strong on the starboard side of the boat, but just hand winching on the boat was an inch or so starboard! I put it back down in the water about 3 times and finally I had my wife pull a dockline while I was pulling the trailer up. Got it centered up that way.

My issue is more of the boat listing to the port side which I noticed it does siting in the water also. I blame it on the added weight from batteries on that side. Loaded a third time today making sure I stayed on the starboard side and again no issues. Sounds like you may be having an issue loading straight on the trailer. I found that making a longer approach allowed me to make adjustments and stay centered. Also having the fenders just barely peeking out of the water seemed to help me out.

I ran across the forum searching for general boating and Yamaha boat information. I have a few years of experience boating and am taking delivery of the first boat that will be my own in a couple of days, a 2020 210 FSH.
Congratulations! Enjoy jet boating! Great buy! I love my 210 FSH.
