My gimbal housing came in last night! Ty IslandTrader!
So was talking to flexpat. He and I were discussing engine risers, billet vs cast etc. I will need some on my engine amongst other things we talked story about.
In midst of the convo he mentioned Carl m. Told him, I wish we’d have filled in that transom area on bottom side of the hull. I’m dealing with the same issues blue heron did on trim tabs. Some may not remember but basically he had to take a mold of that bottom area to customize his trim tabs. Otherwise they are half in half out no matter what speed you are running.
By filling in the bottom areas in question, you end up with an inverted trapezoid. You’d have to taper that out 12-18”. I could easily do that. I want to get a little closer to done. I’m not sure if I want to do that now while on stands or wait until it’s back on trailer… my preference I think.
I was thinking I’d run it as is. Get a baseline and then make that change so I have before and after data. I don’t think it’s gonna matter other than trim tab efficiency. But would appreciate feedback on this.
