outboard height on a pod & cavitation plate angle
hi there,
I have been rebuilding a 6-meter fibreglass boat off and on over the last four years, and I am nearly there. I have just purchased a Suzuki DF140 to mount on the pod that is fitted. I read that you should raise the cavitation plate 1" for every 12" of set back, so I got that part covered (I hope), but how do you measure it. Do you measure it with the cavitation plate set parallel with the hull or with the motor trimmed in, out or at some other angle Anyone know the answer or got a drawing. Regards Bruce |
