With Arnesons, are you "stuck" with whatever prop shaft height you end up with on install/mounting height? That can be real tricky on the older hulls with custom combinations....

The prop shaft height is adjustable as it has hydraulic trim. The transom mounting heights are fixed as the drives are bolted to the transom so ass u ming that the installer installed the Arnesons correctly then all is good.

Right, I understand the trim, but that comes with "angle" similar to a conventional outdrive. I guess my question was more like having adjustability on boxes, there really is none with the arneson design and no way to add "spacers" like a bravo or SSM derived design. you answered my question. The only way to adjust "true" prop shaft height would be to re-glass transom, drill holes and re-mount drives, correct? So it's very dependent on initial setup. Do you offer proven mounting templates for these hulls?

How is the plug-in? Can you run a driveshaft into the drive? Engine -> Trans -> Driveshaft -> Input shaft of the Arneson ? (Using the previous SSM setup / rigging)? Do engines need to move "down"?

these are some good running boats

We have a drill template that lays it out really good. It places the drive in the correct location. No need to have to redrill the transom.

Drive line setup is easy as the input shaft just accepts the drive line yoke. Real easy.

The engine placement is "dependent upon" where it's at. There are so many different X dimensions on each boat that it's difficult to say off hand. The engines do seem to drop though by an inch or two normally.

On my boat a 1 degree change in prop shaft angle results in a half inch of vertical prop height change. When rigging Arnesons get them as low as you can without dragging the socket in the water too much.
