I agree but which side of the drive would propeller torque load?

but actually everybody sais that and i never felt it or seen it !!! Do u realy think the lower would move to the side by spinning the prop?????? That would be very poor quality ? !:party-smiley-004: |
Yes I do. I guess torque has a way of moving things!

The drive moves not because of torque but water flow. Because of this, the drives naturally want to turn outward. Setting them toe in slightly allows this to happen and run effectively in a straight line.

Not on a cat ???? maybe on a twin V i would understand the phisics but on a cat the flow of water should actually be equal on both sides of the sponson !!! just like on a single V !!! If the drives would move from the tourge they would break the downshaft all the time,,come on be realistic ,,we have 2009 !!!not alpha drives or merc 260's !!! :ernaehrung004: |
Thanks for all the info so far, I think I'll try 1/8" in at first and see how it goes.
My Latham tie bar doesn't have a left hand thread on one end, so making adjustments is kind of a pain in the butt. I wonder why they put two RH ends on the tie bar? Greg |

ck and see if ya have any slack,grab the skeg and pull side to side , I had turned my props in and the drive was 3/4 out and I adjusted it to 3/8 [all I could] it picked up 3mph and when I took the boat out it had a broke gimbal pin.I don't know if it was before or after the run but the skeg movement was over a 1/2.I'm redoing every thing now,so Ill have to start from scratch. Ive been told to run a 1/8-/1/4 out at the shaft end on my Hustler.:drink:

On a CAT turning in is faster and out is handling !! Toe i say should be straight !!
