Default Drive alignment on triples

Looking for input on the best way to set drive alignment for a 50 Hustler, triple engine, #6 drive boat. I currently have them set dead parallel. Would I be better off setting the outside drives towed in, out or leaving them parallel? If so how much on the toe? Thanks.

The pair that swing in are trying to come together try them at 1/8 to 3/16 toe in. the pair that swing out set them 1/8 to 3/16 toe out.

Under load you want them parallel.

My 2 cents
