I have a new 4-winns h200 which lists to the starboard side 2-3". No water or extra equipment in the boat to cause this.
Is it the location of the battery or something else . Any ideas

pull the batterie(s) and see if that fixes the problem.

Seems interesting though... empty boat... Gas tank is in the middle, correct?

Hopefully other 200 owners will chime in.

No problems with mine. It originally had a single battery and still didn't have this problem.

I sort of felt like mine was doing this last weekend...to the starboard side. It was 2 adults on board, opposite sides, mine has dual batteries (one on each side)...basically a good balance.

First and only time it "felt" that way for me.

Yes gas tank is in the middle 3/4 full . Pulled the battery from the starboard side - only slight improvement. Put battery back in on port side in same location and problem is 99% resolved. Did they install it on the wrong side ?

My factory battery was on the starboard side. Sure you don't have water sitting some where and a drain to the bilge is blocked? Only possible reason I can think of.

Great idea will check it out this weekend.

First time I've heard of this on your model, but moving the battery from one side to the other is a significant change in balance. So if it persists, permanently moving it to port might be the solution.

Mine lists only slightly, even with both batts installed on driver side, and only me in the boat.

Haven't noticed any listing on mine, like Walt I have dual batteries on the starboard side, but also have a subwoofer with enclosure on the port side. Oh, and I have the sunsport seating option. Do you have the factory upgraded stereo? I believe FW mounts the sub on the starboard side. What other options? The list sounds unusual.

If its new I'd let the dealer sort it out - should float level.

Do you have a tank for a fresh water washdown hose on the stern -- mine is on the port side -- it would add weight on that side? if yours doesn't == perhaps Four Winns planned the weights as if the boat DID have one, and without it you are heavy to starboard.
