Hey All,
i wanted to know where the best place to line the cave plate on the leg on the outboard up with? on my current tunnel, it is level with the roof of the tunnel (tunnel depth is about 21mm), but on the new one i am designing it will end up about 13mm above the tunnel roof, when the center of the prop shaft is 1/4" above the inside sponson edge (tunnel depth will be around 14-15mm)
would this affect performance? because i heard somewhere that you should line the cave plate up with the tunnel roof, so water can flow out of the tunnel and got straight under it or something...any help would be appreciated
1 more thing i have to clear up...if the angle between the transom and the sponson inner edge isnt 90 degrees (say its 89), do i follow the angle of the inside sponson edge back to the drive dog (black line in pic) or do i come out 90 degrees from transom (purple line) to the drive dog then measure the height? hopefully the pics will expalin what im trying to find out
Again, ANY help will be GREATLY appreciated
