I have a friend who has a problem.... sounds like the last time I went to the doctors but I digress....
He has recently had his outboard blow up on a trip near Oban (boat is a 5.8m Humber destroyer RIB) and he acquiured a 150 hp Yamaha about 2 yrs old from a commercial operator up there who changes them every 2 years or so.
He managed to fit it to enable him to continue his diving. Now home he is sorting out the job he did and making good some of his fix it work.
He is concerned about the position of the cavitation plate relative to bottom of the keel. He's sorted out the off set on the lateral positioning but is in a quandry about height on the transom to get the plate in the right position.
The RIB has a flat planing pad at the stern rather than any sort of V shape.
Comments/advice from the troops on here would be appreciated.
