Uhhh...would what be the same? If you mean strut adjustment, that depends a lot on the hull. It is a good place to start, although you may have to make further adjustments just like the cat drivers.

Grease! I learned this simple trick last month....

I'm not a big fan of grease. It can work, but it creates more drag and is messy. The better way to do it, IMO at least, is to use a gland at the inboard end of the shaft. Use a length of silicone tubing slipped over the inside end of the stuffing tube, allowing a short length to hang over the end to just lightly touch the cable/shaft. This lasts a long time and keeps virtually all the water out - grease or no grease. The second short piece of tubing shown on top of the seal below can be left off for flex cable, the wire needs a tighter seal. I use regular clear tubing too, the color doesn't matter.

[hammertime]

thanks for the vids iferguson pretty sweet.... the other motor will be in monday sould be a lot faster esp since im using crap off brand batts only 12 cells and im makin 2 8 cell batts out of intellect 3600 should be a biiiiiig diff cant wait...... also raied the strut a lil more and move the prop back some now using a x440 thing is skoooootin about 40 im guessing with the sv motor shoots a decent roostertail too!!! i think its about as good as it gets on tweekin it now more power and batts hehehe

[lferguson]

About that roostertail.. Just remeber youhave the prop under the transom... Jay might be able to confirm (or discredit) this, but Ithing the spray will be minimal...

[hammertime]

[lferguson]

I don't care what you do....I just want to see that baby move. LOL Heck e-mail it to me if you have too.

[SJFE]

The bucket is the ticket IMO. It's free give it a shot. Uploads take about 10 minutes per 70 megs or so.

[hammertime]
