Hi Woody,

it's not that important to be close to the Hull, but it does matter with the Rudder.

Get the prop as close to the rudder  (in line) as you can without it touching.

Hope this helps

Ken

Its also probably better away from the hull - it will work best in clear water influanced as little as possible by hull form, though obviously there are limitations on that! I would also assume that clear water is less important in slow speed boats than in fast craft.
