| Post subject: | Transom Angle on Pro-Drive boats? |
After reading several posts about how important transom angle is to Pro-Drive motor performance, and searching without success to figure out what that angle was, I thought mebbe someone here could tell me. Looks like my transom is about 11 degrees, am I missing some performance? |

I believe it is 10-12 degrees. I would think you would be fine. Hull performance also will be related to weight distribution. |

The more angle, the deeper you can get with prop.. With a GT, it may not matter as much, but I truely believe that with a PD it does. SHIM it correctly, and you will see a difference in performance when in solid mud. That is the only time it will help. |

I've always heard it was 15 degrees but call them and ask |

Update - Tracker transom angle is 17 deg, measured height is 20 3/8" at the keel. That makes apparent transom height = 19 1/2". Sounds like that's just about where it's supposed to be. |
