      ok so i took motor out cut the shaft to move prop up could not move bracket otherwise motor would hit plastic cover put stock prop on boat and ran it seems to be alot better i can get alot more speed out of it but problem is still there im thinking that it has alot to do with prop what is everyone running on this boat for bigger power setups or what are the props i should try also to much power for stock prop it broke it in first 5 min also now that i moved prop back seems like alot more water in boat then normal and grease all over the inside is that from water running up the drive line? any way to make them water tight

        All you have to do is cut the flex cable to shorten things.
        You cut the motor shaft?

          It's really hard to read your statements since you use no grammar whatsoever. It's just one long run on sentence.
          Anyways, what I would do is get some standoffs or threaded spacers from a hardware store, and offset the rudder. The inline rudders are a joke. Cut the bracket short enough so you can move prop up, but leave it long enough so you can drill new holes and offset rudder. That's my two cents

            A small piece of fuel line will fix the leak on the stuffing tube and flex,
            When you put the boat on the table the strut should be on the table to.
            This way it will be easier when you are adjusting the strut to be level with the sponson's,
            To get it all nice and level.
            I do not have the inner hatch cover for mine,
            You can get rid of the washer at the prop dog to it is not needed.

              ...
              Anyway, pushing the strut up sometimes brings another problem: the prop will have positive angle, the up-down path is NOT a straight line, it is an arch. I had to enlarge the hole on the strut so I can move it more freely up and down, don't be afraid to use a file to file away! I suspect that you might have a bit of positive angle by looking at your post #11, picture 5.

                Anyone have a balanced prop they want to sell that would work for my setup.

                  I am not sure if the m445 is gone, it's not clear from the listing, you may ask however. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...-Mono-and-more
