Anyone know if a 55C has any ballast. I have a slight list to starboard. The generator has been replaced and perhaps is lighter on port side. A water maker with a heavy electric motor was added to starboard but otherwise it all seems stock. I did find also that the transformers are located starboard behind the paneling in salon.

Re: Portside list?
Do you have a tender with outboard on the port side? Any chance you can turn it around?
How about the holding tank on the starboard side of the generator room? What happens to the list when it is full?
Do you have the original 40 gallon water heater in the master stateroom closet? Mine finally died after 40+ years and I replaced it with two 11 gallon marine units on the starboard side of the generator room. List is gone!1977 Hatteras 58' MY, Hull No. 304, 4-stateroom galley up model with 8V71TIs in Knoxville, Tennessee

Re: Portside list?
I have a 65c open bridge. I also have a good port side list. All tanks are centerline, 2 gens behind each engine. I cannot find a way to correct. Is there a chance there is lead to port on mine?
I will take Roberts advice and look in cockpit, but there is an 1100 gallon fuel tank there. Not sure how much visibility I have.
I have been working in engine room, so I know there is no lead there. Unless there is and I cannot see it.
Thanks,
Tim

Re: Portside list?
That is why I love this site. I was thinking maybe Gopro on a telescopic handle, did not even think of the Depstech.
Problem is, if I fine lead ingots, can I get them out...
Thanks Robert,
Tim
