dog fish

Moved kicker to other side and no more lean. Kind of surprised that 80-90 lb would throw off balance that much. I would have moved batteries but it's less work to move motor.

I have a 16 ft Aluminum boat and put a 8 hp 4 stroke kicker on. The boat is leaning pretty hard to that side (port) its mounted. Has anyone one experienced this and how can it be corrected. I could understand it leaning a little but the motor is only about 80-90 lb. Having 2 people on other side doesn't help. The real question is if you have a kicker on your boat does it lean when planing but flat when at rest?
