My new to me 1985 52c is listing to port a couple degrees. Prior owner stated that he removed the very heavy battery bank that was outboard and near the front of the starboard engine. New placement is a strip of 6 car sized batteries in the walkway between the engines and they are closer to portside.

Prior to this change the boat sat level at rest. I can't move any components in the engine room to offset, not even tools. Any chance of factory lead ballast installed portside? I do not see any in the engine room, where else to look?

With 2 good size men sitting on starboard gunnel near the tackle station it seems to balance. If i have to add ballast should it go in the ER or lazarette? thanks
