I'd ditch it. Since its in the tunnel, it's hard to tell how deep it will run in the water, especially choppy water. A single rudder pickup would be plenty good.

I run two of them on my SV27, just set it so it is just below the transom and you will be fine. I have never had a problem with them.

It's just unnecessary, and a lot of extra drag.

Didn't make any difference with my SV running the rudder pick up or the two of these. I have mine set so the front of the pick up is even with the bottom of the hull. I'm running a UL-1 motor and a T-180 in the boat and nothing get over 100 degrees.
