You mean the portside engine, its right, the bar between the engines was in the bottom so we have to replace that bar, this was only for a testdrive and boat hadnt been into the water before yesterday.

Yes, but the one to the right was the biggest problem during the test, but now all of them are ok.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't see that four large outboards mounted so closely together can be anything like efficient. Surely the props end up swirling around in each others wash rather than chomping through clean water.

Nops, there is no cavitation at all and the middle engines has UL rigg and the side engines are Xl.
We didnt have the right props on (25 on the sides and 23 in the middle, we had a topspeed of 59 knots and an acceleration of 0-50 knots in seconds.
Boat is 13m and 3,2m wide and has a weight of arond 3,5 tons (dont have the exact weight)
