Ron
He is a tip for faster speeds in the turns, and more stability in the turns.
With the size of your turn fin bracket,- The turn fin should be mounted on the inside of the bracket.

When a boat is in the turn - The water is shooting up from the inside of the turn fin - If your bracket is in the way of that water force -
It will try to lift that sponson at the same time that your fin is trying to keep that sponson down.

When the fin is mounted on the inside of the bracket, - that water coming off of the fin is unrestricted, hence keeping the sponson down on the water.

yes thanks larry I had planned to either shave down the edge to make it less a planning surface or just use change the bolts as it is currently two threaded holes and make it nuts and bolts and change sides...

finally got up the nerve to drill some holes in the sprintcat 36 today...its my new q rough water boat....still need to cut the stringer to mount the servo and then stuck till I can get a 5 inch rail mount....not very pleased with deck mounting from aeromarine as its off by maybe a 8th inch to one side but not too bad anyway....

Hey Ron,
I wanted to let you know I haven’t forgot about the 5” rail mount. The front is done and next is the rear support ring. It will be a clamp style. Hope to have it done this week.
Here is a pic of the front.

It's still way too hot down here.
I did manage to fly my new "toy" today and bring it back home still in new condition though.
