Mono listing to one side

[BlakeT]

I have an aeromarine Titan 29 that is giving me issues leaning hard to one side while I?m on the throttle Or even half throttle. This boat has a 3650 1500kv motor on 6s I run 2 3s 5000mah packs on each side of the motor. I had first started out with an m445 prop which went 51mph but on its side. I then dropped the prop size down to a 440/3 to see if it was torque rolling on me but no change. The strut is about 3/8 up from the bottom so the prop is not very deep in the water. Trim tabs are neutral and turn fins are strait and on the smaller side. I have 2 other Titan 29s running 4s and similar speeds with similar or bigger props with no issues. I have only seen this one other time with a friends 53 inch delta mono doing the same exact thing.

Sounds like weight distribution isn't an issue. Is CoG similar between your 4S and 6S setups? I assume it's laying down on the starboard side? Is it torque steering also? Any chance there's a hook in the ride pad on the bottom of the hull? I had to offset the strut (from the keel) on a hull I couldn't get to run true.

Lower the trim tab on the side that it is leaning on. It should help. I agree with the post above, I think it's a bottom issue. You might have to do some filling and then sand flat.

Yes it is on the starboard side. I’m running CG a little bit further forward on this one since it is a little bit faster and more powerful than the others. No torque steering with the small or big prop. This hull doesn’t have a ride pad like a delta force does it is just a standard keel V shape but I will check it to see if it has any hook.

Ok so I just checked both boats (I bought the 53 delta from my friend). The Titan has a small lump of epoxy on the bottom of the keel on the opposing side from which it is leaning. I am going to sand this down and see if it changes anything. The big 53 delta the bottom seems pretty strait however there is a dual water pickup that is through the hull and it is on the starboard side as well.

You're welcome. Now sell me the Epic.

You're welcome. Now sell me the Epic.

Haha it’s just hanging out ready for a box.

I actually just got some batteries the other day adequate enough to drive it.

You might check where the strut is mounted. If the driveshaft comes out the transom just a bit to left of centerline it will cause the issue you have.
