I'm sorry... I sould have made my post clearer.... not the articulation... but the rotation....:confused: The rotation of the props... you are running counter rotating props.... correct?.........:confused: You aren't running a reverse rotation engine are you ?

I believe the Kaamas run outward instead of inward. I had them on a 31 Formula and were a nice set up

It was a little tricky backing up and docking at first. But you get used to it real quick

I can see your props turn in Cuda.... but how do they do that?.... do you have one engine that runs in the opposite direction? Like the way the old inboards used to do?... or is the difference in the prop rotation accomplished with a gear change?... and where is the gear change?....

reed cant you see the props are in the plant box. :crazy: Rag's

Both engines run the same direction, the rotation change is in the transmission. Paul

This is my understanding: Surface drives like rocker to get the bow up because they do not have the ability to trim it up as well as a stern drive. The same thing thing applies to a stern drive if it is very high X dimension. This applies to non-stepped hulls.

What "rules" apply to stepped hulls?...... I can understand the reason for the rocker.... but how would it make a difference with the steps?:confused:
