Title: Droop Angles
Post by: BOOST on June 22, 2016, 06:08:05 PM

What's a good angle for the droop to be in,  droop is sitting just about flush with my rideplate, I'm thinking about 3/4 above the rideplate would be less drag in the water I have no issues just thinking I have more left in the setup.

I have a 4 degree wedge in it now looks like a 3 degree wedge or a 2 degree will give me a straighter thrusting angle

3/4" above ride plate is what we shoot for.
