What is the x dim
 

I keep seeing this term and don't know what it means. Where is it measured from? Is there a Y dim and a Z dim too?

x dim refers to teh amoutn of money you spend getting your boat to go fatser. FYI all current research seems to show it is an infinitely large number.... :D


But seriously its the distance between the bottom of your hull and the prop. The deeper the prop the lower the x-dim.

Puder, isn't the X dimension the center of the crankshaft?

X-dimension is the distance from the bottom of the hull up to the point where the driveshaft of the sterndrive comes through the transom.

The higher the X-dim. the closer the prop is to the surface of the water.

You can effectively change the X-dim. by changing to a shorter or longer lower unit setup without having to redo the actual outdrive height.

it is indeed a measure of where the prop is in relation to the hull and the surface of the water.

i was wrong on where you measure it from.
