1980 Sea Ray leaning rear port side

[tat4495]

I notice that my boat was leaning to the port side while docked. I haven't taken it out its just been docked while working on it. Can someone advise me

You most likely have water-soaked foam on the port side

What is that? Where is it ? and how do I fix it?

 

[Scott Danforth]

First, weigh your boat and compare to spec

If you weigh significantly more than spec, core sample the foam

If waterlogged. Start a full restoration

Hi. Before going all drastic and suspecting the worst. Think around simple things first.
Where are the batteries located ? Where is the domestic water tank located ? Is the a hot water tank too ? Where is that ? Is there a generator or any other ancillary objects on the port side in the engine bay ?
Is the galley on the port side ? With its heavy fridge, hob or oven perhaps ? Is the steering hard over to port ? 9/10 times it will be one of the above !

I am so embarrassed to say but the Port was the side-leaning. This is what I found: Port sid had two batteries, I found a battery that I didn't know was on board. I also had two 5 gal containers of gas on the port side and two bags of tools. What was I thinking?

Once we removed all this the boat leveled out. Thank you everyone for your support
