Hey Jools,

(Keith you could go as a foot passenger on the ferry and take your SIB as hand baggage )

You may jest, but think of the money I would save on ferry costs by not having a trailer behind to pay for!

Regards

Keith (pack it in a bag) Hart

Jokes aside -- I have just measured up the position of my 200HP Optimax XL on a 6.5m Tornado. The engine was fiited by the boat manufacturer. It is located as follows:

Offset from centre line to starboard is surprisingly small at only 20mm; and

height of anti cavitation plate above the bottom of the keel is around 75mm. (I believe that the transom mounting height is subject to other considerations though.)

Hope that this helps.

Pat.
