Post subject: | cavitation plate on long tail muc motor |
Recently purchased a Turbo Tornado mud motor drive train and have some questions about adjusting the cav plate. First of all can someone tell me how a cav plate works? I know it's to keep the engine from cavitating but how does it do that. Secondly the plate on this unis is adjustable. Do you set it to be sort of parallel to the water surface of do you just do a trial and error on it to get is set correctly? Thanks guys. Chuck |

Ok , I'll try to help you , a cav plate on a longtail has the purpose of creating anopposing force on the lower shaft to keep the prop in the water . To keep the prop from blowing out. It does have a balance point that needs to be achieved. Ideally your plate should be positioned so that the prop it self rides just below the top of the water surface. (At full travel speed) You have pics of this frame kit. Let's start with that . Before you get to deep in this . Is it a bolt up , weld on. H Finn |

It a bolt up, has an adjustable slot to tilt the back up or down and it's concave in shape. |

Because you've seen one and know, or because in the picture it looks like it? |

Thanks. I will write a review later on. The thing is built very stout. Looks quite rugged but will see. |

no you don't have to remove cav plate to grease it... kind of looks like it in the pic but not inreal life. |
