Same problem but but unrelated to power.

Then it's not the same problem

The boat (stamas 255) leans to the left... err... port. 200 pounds in the
driver seat makes it level.
What the hell???


Are you saying that your boat is not level athwarthsips while at rest? That
would be a list, whereas the OP's issue is a lean. One happens at rest, the
other while underway. If yours is the former, it is simply a matter of
weight distribution, which is why parking your ass in the helm seat makes it
go away. If you'd prefer something other than yourself be used as ballast,
find 200 pounds of dead weight on the port side that can be moved to
starboard. That's a lot of weight, so you're probably looking at things
like batteries or water/holding tanks. Do you have dual fuel tanks, one on
each side? If so, you can use fuel as ballast.
