If you had two right hand rotation motors on a 16 degree transom angle the motors would be much higher hence with the high horsepower in a small boat would make it a handful to drive. the wedges make the transom angle to 10 degrees which also gives you a higher x dimension on small freboard boat
hope this helps Although this boat has a small extension box between the drive and the transom, I don't think it is a wedge. I am not in front of the boat right now, but I will check later. It has a few inches of setback, but it looks parallel. Maybe I'm wrong, but if it is a wedge, it is a very small change. It also has 4 steps, 2 larger and 2 smaller. Thanks for the response, Eddie. |

Got the second engine in and man is it tight in there. Started mocking up and making templates for the tailpipes. I'm using 4" pvc pipe and fittings. I used a toilet flange bolted to the headers, since the tailpipes bolt up instead a band clamp like CMI uses. It really worked out great. Here are a few shots. Enjoy, Eddie.

Here are a few shots from between the two engines. This is the area between the rear of the front engine and the front of the rear engine. I still have to clamp up a few hoses that are in the way.

Looks good thanks for sharing.

Very interesting to see the process of fitting the tailpipes- something I've wondered about.
Cool thread. Thanks for taking the time. |
My pleasure. I'm glad you guys are enjoying them.
