Default Off Center

On a triple engine outboard V hull, what would be an acceptable off center tolerance?

An inch either way should be cake to do, so more than that would bother me.

Or are you talking about the middle outboard engine spacing mounted in comparison on the transom center line ? Its mounted off center ?

Yes, and Yes, Too the best of my measurments the Center engine is off about a 1/2" of transom centerline. The 2 outside motors have equal dimensions off Center motor. They were lined up off Center. One outside motor then is 3/4" further from the outside of stainless transom plate edge.

That's sounds strange.
Anyone else going to put a measure on their outboard rig or is it just me?

I know that as little as 1/4" can cause huge handling problems on a single. A triple, IDK. Are you having problems? If so I think you found the cause.
