    Finding CG for Genesis twin setup

    Hi, I am building up my Genesis after i blew it to pieces not long ago. This time its not going to be a hack haha.
    Can anyone help me with a % of total length or distance from end of Transom for the Genesis to setup a good CG.
    I just about have all my hardware now and going to need to mount motors etc and i want to get the CG in a good spot.
    Is going to be a twin with Leopard 4074s. Have searched the forum but cannot find anything that useful.
    Thanks for any help much appreciated

    I believe 33% is the general rule of thumb I have a genesis single and it is set to around 10" from the back of the sponsons

                Anywhere from 30% from the transom to 35%. Adjust the running attitude by shifting your batteries fore and aft.
