hey, when you mount a engine on the transon, does it have to be offset >??? to counteract the steering , or is dead straight, as there is a thingy on the outboard to do it for you!! any ideas??
It depends on lots of things, usually the deeper the V of the hull the more the offset. But the position of the console also makes a difference. If you look at a Avon 5.4m searider you will see the console is offset that means less of an offset for the engine. I would guess you would want about 3/4inch to 1 inch off set but without seeing the boat dont take my word for it!!!!
ok, that makes sense, i guess its offset to starboard looking at it from the rear??
and the Cav plate,just below the bottom of the hull or just level?? you sound like you know what your doing!!! ha ha
thanks dave, ive got a 5.3 2.0beam Ocean Pro, that would be great if you could!! how do you rate the Humber?? basically im buying all the components separatly, and will install myself, should be fun!!

Yeah thats it, although i would have the cav plate inline with the bottom of the boat.
