X dimension

How do I get the x dimension for a bravo drive on a 24 pantera or what is the x dimension? Got rid of the volvo penta and trying to have the bravo put on before summer so any input will definitely help

thanks

if you dont want to reglass your transom get yourself a adaptor plate to bolt your gimble onto. it worked great on my friends 27 magnum. or call jo and get the height that works well on 24's measure and start cutting.

Jo says most 24 cut @17.
Can go 17.5 or as much as 18 but anything over18 won't offer good all around performance. Best for top speed.

Default X

It's measuring your talking about is from the bottom, correct?

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...per-lingo.html

there is some good info in there.

basically its the measurement from the bottom of the boat to the centerline of the crankshaft of your motor or input shaft of your outdrive

measure from the bottom of the hull to the bottom of the transom assembly and add 9.25 inches. that will get you within 1/8th of an inch for your x dimension.

keep us posted with your progress

you have to measure perpendicular to the running surface, with a square, can't measure straight up the transom or your measurement will be off.
