When you mounted them how much rise did you have form the boat to the tip of the pod ?

Do pods slow boats down ? I have a 14-36 with a 670 Longtail and need a little floatation but can’t stand to loose any speed

No loss of speed! The boat runs more free in the water as it is no longer dragging it's ass from the weight of the motor. All Positive !

@@dondoesitokay great ! You think it’s okay won’t affect plane ride speed not to mount them flush to bottom or side ? Inch up or so to and inch in on both side to side avoid drain plugs ?

What size pods did you put install

@dondoesit 4 ай бұрын

My bottom is 48'' so I went with the Medium. Worked out perfect. On the Beavertail site they have a chart to tell you what size you need by the bottom width of your boat.
