Mounting hardware to the hull- lets talk about position

[Basstronics]

If anyone could give me some numbers it would be a great relief. Im looking to get back into this project this week.

If someone has the stock Pursuit that came from OSE, Kintek or HK should be able to get the numbers needed.

I think Im going to run the stinger down low. I guess its a gamble so im going to gamble on what I think is right and will find out later if Im wrong. Rudder placement from centerline is really what Im after now. If you could take a clear picture of the transom that should tell me the rest.

Thanks for all the input so far.

I am able to get back into this project again

I took a fresh look at where I was intending on mounting the stinger and decided I was to low. I dont think I would of been able to get the flex out where I was about to mount it. So up she went. The center of the shaft will be at 5/16" from the bottom of the V.

I converted the 88mm to something I know, 4-7/16" and marked up where the rudder would go.

Below are pictures of the mock up. Best I could do by myself.

My concern- is if the rudder is to close to where the prop will be. Thats a 47mm prop shown. I understand the rudder will never go that far ever- just for reference.

Opinions?

Your not going to be far out at 5/16", Thats what it is on my Osprey hull with the stinger.

Ok Im a bit unsure if your comment means "sounds good" or "not good" because the much larger boat is similar.

[martin]

I meant sounds good, A friend of mine also has the 32" pursuit with the same stinger & the centre of the hole is around 5/16" up.

OK sounds good. I want to get the hardware mounted this week.

I forgot to order stuffing tube and teflon with my OSE order... D'oh!
