I don't have any real world experience with any external pickups, but as per instructions on mine: flush on the leading edge and down 12.7mm at the back

Your propshaft height is WAY high for regular V Bottom. You want to be 3-4 inches below the bottom. My Pantera was at 3.25 below and I spaced it another inch lower.

Thank you. A bravo one standard lower will get me to 3,7” below bottom.

Does the extentionbox help something with my high propshaft height?

The extension box does allow you run about an inch higher, so at 3.7" below you should be good.

Maybe the bravo one standard lower is the best option for my boat then..

Im going to try it if I see any improvements/changes with the spacer installed

I bet you will see a very slight improvement with the spacer.
I would think the standard lower should work well.

I am worried about that yes...


I tried to count the gear ratio today.
If i spin the engine 1 turn, the propeller spins about 3/4 turn.

what is the gear ratio?

You should spin the input shaft 10 turns and have someone count the prop shaft rotations. That will give you a more accurate ratio

Thank you. One guy told me it is 1,5:1 if I spin the motor 1 turn and the prop turns 3/4.


I also trimmed my water pickup down today.
