Talari leans to the left

firebirdzig · 08-03-2009, 02:35 PM

I just bought a 1994 talari 190. I have taken it out acouple times, and the boat seems to lean to the left. We have tried evening out the weight, checked for taking on water and making sure our "cargo" is not heavier on one side. When cruising in the no wake zone it does not lean but when you get on it, it leans. Any thoughts or advice on how to correct this?

Try trim tabs. I don't personally have them but a lot on here use them.

When mine leans a little I just adjust the trim up a little and it seems to level it somewhat. My better half (known on here as the heavier option

) causes mine to lean to the passenger side but once trimmed out it levels out pretty well.

Funny how the boat doesn't lean to the drivers side when only I am in the boat.

Not much anyway!

haha, thanks for the advice. I'm going to def. try that next time I go out. Any other reasons that might cause this? What kind of trim tabs should I be looking at and where should I be looking for them? Also how much do they usually run and how hard is it to install the trim tabs and retractors/indicators? I've also been reading about adjusting the corrosion anode, if anyone could shed some light onto that, that would be great. Thanks.

These are the trim tabs I have. They work very well and are easy to install...

Your list to port is caused by prop torque. Trimming the outdrive up and higher speeds level mine out. The more people on board the worse it is.

I wouldn't look at the trim tabs until you try trimming her out as that does fine on my 190. This is the first site where I have seen folks putting trim tabs on boats this small.

I own a 210 with a 5.7 with a four blade 21 inch prop and have no trouble pulling water-skiers or towing 3 kids on tubs. I feel it is about trim and that your motor is runing top-notch and have no lean eather. And all with out trim-tabs.

Don't worry, I won't take that as an insult.
