The propshaft hight ( x-dim.) is about 5.1/8 diffrent between a #6 and a #3 or 3a it is the same on a 4 or 5 thogh.
And yes it plays a big roll in turning props !!!!

Also ,,,in is sternlift ,,out is bowlift on a V bottom ,,,not on a cat !!!

On some boats ,,it does not make a diffrents at all thogh.

It also depends on what props ,,,diameter and blades ,,not pitch !

exactly, it creates bow lift and brings more out of the water. to quote Robert Duvall in days of Thunder, loose is fast, on the verge of out of control...but hey I'm just a guy with a 42 cig, a cousin of you guys 41...and you never know which Apache I may end up with ;)

I'm pretty sure it will be open for memorial kickoff if not before, weather permitting. I still need to get the drives back on the Tiger. The reason I knew about the props is I talked with Tres, very poignantly about the affects of turning them in on the Tiger and what to expect. He gave me some great advice and told me a few things that I would not have expected. Like putting in a spacer for cleaner water, even with a notch. and I'm always nice, just blunt nice :D
