Folks...
Just bought this boat.. noticed it slopes about 1.5-degrees forward. Is that normal for this model?
Also, Can anybody tell me the location of the inline waste tank vent filters for a 2001 model 444? My friend has a 2003 model, but my filters aren't in the same location as his -- can't find them anywhere and my wife is throwing fits if I don't get them replaced.
Thanks.

Re: 2001 444 Issues
Answered waste filter question on your other post. My 405 slopes forward some it will change depending on how full fuel and water tanks are etc. Not a big deal. How much chain do you have in anchor locker? Or owner added weight yo the boat?

Has about 100' of chain... everything else seems balanced. I understand that might just be characteristic of some 444s. Also, Carver customer service just told me my HIN didn't come with filters. Thanks!

100' is a lot of chain and a lot of weight right at the bow. Pull it out on the dock sometime and see how the boat sits.

Just to add....3/8 anchor chain is about 1.5lb/ft depending on the grade..
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

Re: 2001 444 Issues
I have 200' of chain in mine and a 55lb anchor and inside in the galley I see what you mean, it feels like it's slopped forward but I think it's just the internal floor design and how it sits in the water. From the dock the rub rail looks straight and parallel to the water. I once dumped all my chain and anchor into water at marina and bow went up 1" but inside it made no difference on the slope.
