So, part two of the question then; if one is going to go to the trouble of adding a shoe and new rudder, would there be any benefit to making the rudder larger?
Any merit to adding a skeg here?
Would replacing the spade require engineering?
You and Mark have opposite rotation. What is your power? Be interesting to know how many different single motor, transmission combos and prop rotations there are. Follow me?
2. Me thinks Hawgwash should just go buy a trawler.
My thoughts as well but when I think about it, how many twins have any protection other than some tunnels?That all around lack of protection would concern me in the PNW.
IMO - Everything takes engineering!
It's said to be fact that somewhere near a billion neutrons fire in the brain with each step taken while running. Now, I call that Engineering!!
Hmmm. I think I would be just as nervous with that arrangement. Seems to me it wouldn't take much upward push on that cantilevered channel to bend it up into the prop.ARoss said:It obviously doesn't provide as much protection, but can reduce the risk of fouling on a line or such.
PS what you call a skeg, I call a shoe.
Gudgeons and Pintles and Shoes! Oh my!
