Listing problem 4087 Bayliner-gctid384185

[Guest]

We have a 1998 4087 and it is listing to port. Fuel, water and black water tanks do not appear to be the issue. Does anyone have a suggestion what I try and look for?

Thanks

Has it always been that way?

iook at what you have stored, move anything you can to the other side, remember, 50 lbs from one side to the other is like the present condition and placing 100 lbs on the other side.

I don't know if your problem has been solved. I had exactly the same problem on a different boat (Stingray 250 CS) and I finally figured out what was the cause. In my case the boat was OK at stand still but as soon as I started moving at above 5 mph it started tilting to port. It turned out that the bimini bars were not properly adjusted and the bimini tent was slightly crooked and/or was not level. I carefully measured the distances for each of the connection points to make sure that everything was set up right for the bimini structure and the problem went away.

Good luck,

I have a slight list to port on my 4087 and have spoken with other 4087's owners that have the same issue. I'm also a bit bow down, but that's not a problem. I put some old dive weights stern starboard in the lazarette, nearly 75lbs. Seems to have done the trick.

If we have 4 sitting down for dinner in the dinette, it becomes very noticeable, but not moving so doesn't matter. I have a small bubble level on the dash, to keep an eye on it.

Haven't done this, but each fuel tank holds around 110 gallons, you could fill the starboard side and only put 95-100 or bit less in the port. Diesel weighs just over 7lbs per US gallon, (checked on the web and got various answers from 7lbs to nearly 8lbs),probably get rid of the list.
