twin strut location

[guy leveque]

hello

I am building a twin .21 prototype boat, and I would know if there is a minimum space to keep between the two strut.

for the moment the picture show the situation of the project but I am afraid they are too close...

can you confirm it's ok or not?

if not, what is the gap to maintain between the two props in order to garantee the best running condition

Thanks - regards

It's fine the way you have it. My old twin 21 was just a tad closer but you will be good where you are at.

same for any twin- as close as u can with biggest prop u would possibly run. plus a couple mm to allow for slop + slop of bushings when they wear out.

I like your idea of the spring on the rudder to keep it in place and acting as a reset instead of a shear pin.
