I swear when I look at the rear of my boat on flat level ground, that the motor is actually mounted crooked...is this possible? And how can it be corrected?

I've always thought it was that way but, really didn't bother me that much....although I always wondered why if two people's weights the same and weight is distributed correctly in the boat that it would run level? If your lookin at the back...it leans to the right a little which makes me think that's why it lists a little on the passenger side. When I'm by myself it runs pretty flat but, still lists on the passenger side.
 
It might be set up that way to counter act engine torque and eliminate some of the unwanted steering "pull". The motor's on the 896's were mounted that way....when looking at it from the rear the motors were a few degrees offset to the left from true verticle)
