Does anyone have a drill template for installing the cavitation tubes on 42 Lightning with 6 drives? I talked to Reggie - they don't have a template (really??).

If not template, can someone take some measurements for me?

Thanks!
Terry

Got my setup from teague

who,s are you using or building your own ?

Fountain made them - just received over weekend. But no hardware, no gaskets, no template.

Hope they were not to much ?? Teagues were 350.00 each hardware & all .

The tubes go over where the anode is mounted in the underside of the cavitation plate. Anode gets removed and replaced with the bottom plate that has the extractor tube above the prop. Top plate is mounted above this. A hole is drilled through cavitation plate. Just use hole saw slightly smaller than I.D. of top tube. The lower casing is not solid. Use S/S hardware to secure.

My upper tube assembly is a few inches forward of the lower vent tucked in nicer and facing forward , look at Teagues website .

Fountain was a lot more.

My understanding is that you have to have the tube forward of the underside plate. Would you mind taking some measurements on yours (assuming you have Fountain tubes)? I'd like to know distance from the upper gear case to the tube flange.

I just don't want the tubes to hit swim platform at max trim.
Reggie followed up and sent this last night.

If you look @ Teagues web site or I can text you a pic , your drive setup should be the same as my 38 very minimal tilt bur they do not hit about couple inches away from platform . Mine are quite a bit bigger than you show there flange is 1.5 away from upper housing 5 inch flange with 3 inch hose .
