Ya I did mean the E-Tec sorry for that I haven’t kept up with the Rudes after I switched from them to Yamaha a few years back. I also agree with the concepts of adding extra length to both sides of the transom. I did it on another boat and it did help a Lot but it isn’t the ideal thing to do. I did move my batteries under my consol + oil tank + fresh water tank there as well that helps a lot. Personally I don’t like to back down on any fish in the ocean with outboard (one of the advantages of CC design is putting it in forward. My boat is set up with the engine on a 30” transom so I really don’t get very much water in the transom area anyway if I do get some when drift fishing I will through out a sea anchor and that solves the problem.
