It was discucssed before that it really did not matter. I guess if the prop is unhooking more could be moved to rear, but many having using Xseries props any way.

I had a 6v aaa hump pack behind the bulkhead and under the stuffing tube.fit just perfect.

good luck.

It makes no difference where you put it in the radio box......

????? You got to be kidding me.. Joe got mine wright at the bulk head on the left side. Rod I'd thought you dont want much weight on the backend/prop? Joe found out I could stick in a 6V square AAA battery pac in the same spot. I'm still got my 4.8 small bettery pac in it. Rod to let you know,Joe got that lightweight JAE.12 3/4 built and it light as heck so far.

Just the opposite....there you go thinking like a JAE is a traditional outrigger......In fact JAEs have prop weight designed in.....the ski sets the ride height of the prop,not a critical CG placement in the boat......

Alden, if you look at my other post about your stuffing tube, thats how my radio box is set up. I can fit a 1600 orion stick pack on the left side about 1/4in back from the bulkhead. my boat cg's right at the collet. Its really no big deal about weight and cg and everything, but i measured since you asked. As long as you can fit what you need in the box, you'll be fine.
