He said this makes a cup in the hull and creates more drag and leveling out the boat!


It would also cause more drag, pulling the nose of the boat down, and causing you to lose speed and fuel efficiency.

That's not something I would do unless you had a severe case of boat lean due to some problem you couldn't change (maybe a very large driver on the console side). I would move the little tap slightly. That should fix the problem. If not, try to shift weight in the boat by moving batteries and gear.

I always do permanent changes as a LAST RESORT, especially when dealing with expensive stuff like boats.
