they can be single or twin screw, if its going to be single you will need to drill a hole a bit higher and try and get the shaft as parallel as you can to the bottom of the hull ,this is so the power is going back not pushing the hull up.get a prop and see how high you can put the shaft .  you could ask about to see if someone has a plan for it.  Peter

Ive got a prop, and i have roughly lined it up it, it seems that if i put the hole any higher up the angle will be even steeper.Some more piccys below.

   ... Hi furs307c...


The top of the Kort Nozzle looks a bit far away from the hull...It shoud be no more than about 8mm from the hull to the top of the outside of the kort nozzle...

This should lessen the angle quite a bit...

 I hope this helps...

                                      ...Best Regards...Norry...

Hi, do you reckon i should just sand the top of the nozzle down in the area indicated in the picture below? btw cheers for the advice.

Right, ive done a bit of modification to the kort nozzle (e.g chopped a bit of the top of it ;D), ive also painted it. It seems to line up better now, ive still got to have it at a bit of an angle though because of the diameter of the motor i have (mmm car fan motor), which is quite large.
