Hunter 260 listing to starboard

[Curwen]

Hello,

On Tuesday there was no wind and the lake temps were at 92 degrees, so we spent a lot of time in the water floating around the boat.

I have a 2002 Hunter 260 with a tiller and a 9.9 outboard.

While floating around I realized there is a real list to the starboard on my boat. Looks to be about an extra 2 inches at the waterline on the port side.

Is this normal considering that the outboard and both batteries are mounted on the starboard side?

Thank you. Still learning what is "the normal" on my boat.

That sounds like a good theory.

Many (smaller) boats list at rest, generally because the design isn't balanced when fuel, water, batteries etc. are added. Can you swap your battery to the port side?

I had an H26 (same hull). You also have the gally on Starboard. I ended up moving my batteries to the port side and my heavier stores to port.
