Engine Placement In Deep Vee
Hello. I have a 50 Inch deep vee, and Im gonna be running a 30cc Homi engine. I was just wondering about a good rule of thumb about mounting location. Also I was wondering about a turning fin.
Should I run one or two turning fins? Also is there any advantage to mounting them an an outward angle?
Any info that could be provided would be great. Thank you.

RE: Engine Placement In Deep Vee
Chris I just picked up a Vee as well, first one in 7 years. I was told 28 to 30% is a good figure for engine placement. I am planning to run a skegged strut.....no need for a turn fin then but I see you are runing a stinger drive so you may need a fin on the right side if you have trouble getting it to bite in the turns. Make sure you get some trim tabs too or you might have a real wild ride. THe only time I have seen guys run a turn fin on both sides are when they want to turn both left and right.
