1998 Mariah under floor access
 
I have a 98 255 shabah and boat lists to starboard side just a bit white sitting in water and under way. I was thinking it might be holding water in the floor. Is there any way to access the sides of the floors either through gas tank panel or the front access area for the porta pottie? Just looking for some insight so I know I can access it. Thanks

Inside the porta potty area there is a drain hole. If you're holding enough water to make you list, you'll know because it'll come out that hole and pool on the floor once you come to a stop. The fuel panel access (at least in my old Z250) was there just for access to the fuel sender and wiring. There's not enough room to do anything else. Your best bet for removing any water is the drain plug in the transom. You can use the jack on your trailer to elevate the bow higher and any water will head to the transom.

I'm not the most familiar with the Z255 model, Are you running a dual battery setup? Are they both on the starboard side, or both sides? Are there any other heavy items on the starboard side that could be relocated to the port side? Do you have trim tabs to correct this while underway?
