Sean, How did this come along since Feb?
I'm getting ready to remove the steerable Werner drive from my 58 Fountain because I cannot for the life of me get it to run correctly. the drive is large for the boat and Werner was kind enough to mill the housing to fit the back of the Fountain, but Ive tried over and over rebuilding, getting COG as far back as possible etc and I just cannot get it and am giving up on the project and rebuilding it.. HOWEVER, I saw this and if I can get a more correct scale drive on the boat, maybe, just maybe I can get this thing running.
Overall the main issue I'm having is it is running very wet. My COG is spot on with others who run the same hull and Ive rebuilt the boat 3 times to get weight as absolutely far back as possible and it still rides wet. The hull has been blue printed, there is no hook in it that would cause the nose to be forced down. What I think it is, is the prop is way too far behind the transom. Its an incredibly long drive for a 58" boat.... But, those MTC might just work if you figured it out.... Or if I need to get one and continue to figure it out. But, great idea. if you didn't get it, I'm on board to get his thing working.
Let me know. Hope your doing well.
