Re: Prop shaft height.

this could be a good candidate for a maximus 5 blade after you install the shorty drive to get max top speed... especially if the prop slip goes up much...

Mind if I ask how and what do you measure to find this out? And how easy and what is required to change it?
Thanks.

Re: Prop shaft height.

draw a line on your drive even with the center of the propshaft, then when that line is parrallel with the bottom of the boat measure the distance between the prop shaft center and the bottom of the boat. drive spacers can give a deeper "x", and shorter drives can give a higher "x"
