John,

 

It sounds like 200 lbs. of beer in the galley might just solve your problem.  
But seriously, equipment added can cause balance problems.  Be sure of your 
measurements, then move something to balance things out.  Batteries are heavy 
and not too difficult to move, if you have another location to port where they 
might fit.

So in a near empty boat, my C&C 121 (40') has a pretty significant list to 
starboard.  The basic tanks are nicely placed to balance each other with the 
exception of the holding tank which is pretty far to starboard.  I assume that 
would be offset by loading in the galley (port).  The prior owner did add a 
large inverter (about 50 lbs) and two additional batteries (150 lbs) both 
pretty far outboard. 

 

So before I go nuts moving batteries or installing weights, is the list really 
caused by the additional 200lbs outboard or is this  more likely the keel?  Any 
thoughts?

 

John
