how to set drive toe in/toe out?
 
OK...I need professional input here as I get this tank rolling....its an 86 Formula F302...and as I get near 70 mph it starts feeling a little bit squirrley even with a little bit of tabs down....
Using the front point of the cone on the TRS drives for a front reference point and the center of the prop shafts on the rear as points of reference how should the "toe in" or "toe out" be set on this hull for maximum stability? I realize I should have hydraulic external steering for this ....but until I do get it how should I best set these units? Hydraulic steering is going to be a major project later because the exhaust comes out at water level below the swim platform currently. I think I will have to relocate the exhaust later to do the steering change in that it looks like external steering mechanisms will not clear the stock exhaust with the shotguns on them, so I have to get by as best as possible for the time being.

formulaF302,
On these drives you will probably be ok with 1/8" - 3/16" of toe. If you spin the drives in you want the toe to be toe out at the front. If they spin out you want toe in at the front.

Good luck.
