My F28 lists to starboard too.... I can only imagine it has something to do with the extra 30lbs of propane stored on the bridge as well as a heavy duty radar stand.... all added to the starboard side....

We figured the previous owner compensated by using one domestic water tank at a time, draining the starboard tank before the port, because they've put an extra shut-off to the port tank.

For your parts needs, try BEacon MArine (the sponsor of this site) or Marine Tech in Lancaster PA

you may be able to match the chain up at a cycle shop or a place like northern or a good hardware store

I believe the chain you are looking for is a #41 chain. The first # (4) is the spacing of the teeth on the sprocket. The second # (1) is the width of the chain in eighth's. (1/8")
