How much should a Kaama drive trim up from 0 trim (parallel with hull bottom)?
Question for those that own or have owned kaama's in the past? How much positive trim did the drives have? I am finishing up my custom rigging of kaama's on my scarab and need to make sure I have all my linkage setup right. It would be great if someone has or could take a photo from the side of the boat showing the amount of angle the drives trim up.
Thanks
Jim

Mine "will" trim to the max the cylinders will go each way, but I don't have specifics. I don't have power in mine or I'd trim it to ride height. I can measure the spare teardrops I have with cylinders and maybe give you an estimate on overall geometry if that will help?

Oh yeah, mine has quite a bit. You can actually trim them into cavitation at speed if you wanted. Guessing about 15*-ish? I'll get you the measurements tonight.
