Hi all - trying to go over settings for my CMD 45 SGX. If anyone can provide the critical/correct settings I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Mine runs well at no shims under sponson booms , strut as far down as the Shoe will permit , no angle, flat . Try H-18 , 1655 . I'll take a pic later for you .

Ron,

1655 @4.29" of cup,H-18 @4.50" of cup, or 1457 @4.29" of cup.

They all work very well on that set up.

Thanks,

Mark Sholund

Ron, in this order-1- lay a straight edge on the bottom of center shoe and bring bottom of strut flat against the straight edge so it follows the line of the shoe and lock it down.

2- set the boat (with turn fin removed) on a flat and level set up board and using a digital level measuring on top of sponsons between boom tubes, set the left (non turn fin side) sponson at zero to positive (sponson tip up) +1/4 (.25)degree and the right sponson at positive +1/2 (.5) degree.

3- install turn fin and sighting across bottom of tub make sure lines on fin are parallel to the bottom.

4- get a raw 1655 and send it to Andy Brown, have him set it @ 4.3" (he knows this). I tried lots of different props on my SGX45 and the 1655 Andy did was the premo prop for it by far.

This was the set up on the SGX45 I had and with a stone stock MAC 45 and parabolic pipe it would run rock solid consistent 81-83 on radar in honest heat race conditions set a little on the rich side.
