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. |

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. |
