Hi all,
I have decided that the Azteca class patrol boat I have needs to have it's outer shafts [removed prior to my getting it] re-installed.
now I need some input from you knowledgeable guys.........
1. the slots in the hull for the outer shafts are located about three inches forward of the centre shaft, is this normal ?
2. should I look to make the outer props counter rotate, or would you advise all three rotating in the same direction, and trim the rudders [I'm looking to reinstall the outer two rudders as well] to maintain staright ahead with no helm ?
3. is it better to go with the outers on one channel for when required, and the centre shaft on a seperate channel for manouvring at slow speed, or have all three running all the time ?
cheers

ps Azteca is 40 inch loa and 10 inch beam
