Default What's up with the drive spacing on this 50?

They seem reallly far apart? Are the Yanmars that wide?

Just curios.

Yes they are that wide. And they are side by side by side.

Thanks, Terry. Guess that does make sense, you would have to give up some cockpit space to stagger the center motor.

How big an effect if any does the spacing make on the performance?

I assume at the speeds a 50' diesel / bravo boat runs the gains would be minimal?

Everything comes with a trade off. And yes the gain would be minimal.

Did that change the CG from a normal triple config?
