Default Re: Inboard Diesel Jackshafted Vs. Twins on a Seamark

Another thing I thought might be interesting is to jackshaft an I/O to a Inboard Seacraft with the pocket. I did notice when Albin went to I/O on their inboard diesel, they got rid of the pocket. I wonder if they tried it, or just figured they better enclose the pocket.
I would think if the pocket was left in place and an I/O bolted to the transom, there wouldn't be enough clean water for the prop to bite into, causing a lot of cavitation/slippage.
