Kicker makes my boat lean?

[dog fish]

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?

try moving batteries other side of kicker

What is the make and model of the boat?  What is age and what is main engine?  If two people on opposite side don’t take out lean then you might have waterlogged transom/ flotation foam.  Redistributing weight is a good start, but seems like you might have more going on.

Exactly what I was thinking.....

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.
