Hello
I have bought an old fiberglass speedboat with an AQ100 drive leg. I want to change it to a more modern drive. I have bought a second hand AQ280 drive. However I am wondering what the best mounting height is on the transom before i cut the hole. To prevent drag or prop cavitation.
Most of the pictures online of AQ280 plates put the underside of the boat just above the anti cavitation plate at the narrow point of the leg. I was also wondering if the height makes a difference for the noise coming from the exhaust. Also the plate curves upward slightly towards the rear.
I hope some people with some experience with mounting these drives can chime in.
Thanks in advance
