Do you guys run your outdrives on twins perfectly inline or do you see better results with toe in or toe out, and if so by how much?
Was reading a post on another board and a guy claimed to see a 3 MPH gain in speed by playing with the drive alignment.
Unfortunately he did not give a lot of details and I have not been able to get him to replay as of yet.
Thanks
Doc

Thanks, it may seem crazy but mine were toed in a little, maybe 1/8 inch and I straightened them out. Seems that I lost performance and picked up a little extra slip.
I'm going to toe them back in and see what happens.

I was told toe in due to the way that the water comes off the bottom of the boat. I was told that 1/8 to even 1/4" was about right depending on the boat.
