Drive Angle
I have a question for Sport Hydro builders.
On my Black Pearl.
I have found that with the speed we are achieving with the rudder and turn fin set straight in line, that you have to adjust the strut to get the boat to run in a straight line. With the strut straight the boat wants to turn into the course.
As of right now I am using a 1.5 degree wedge between the transom and the strut mount.
Seeing that 1 degree is .210" per foot.
From the rear of the strut to the back edge of the ride pads is 18.5 inches.
So my drive force is at 31/64 inches off center. (or 1/2 off center)
at the rear of the sponsons.
If I was to move my strut sideways off center to mount it square to the transom.
How much would I have to move it?
