I think this has been discussed before but I could not find the old thread, so I will ask again:
Does the stock K&B outboard cavitation plate serve any purpose when running a surface drive set up?
When up on plane, the cavitation plate is way out of the water anyway. I want to experiement removing it in an effort to save some weigh and also to provide clearance to try different props.
I can see the benefit of the cavitation plate in a fully submerged drive such as (in some cases) in a mono/deepvee but I am not sure about the effectiveness on a hydro or tunnel.
Thanks,
Kez
