position of the celery stick ( trim limit insert ) for maximum downtrim BRAVO III

[aerobat]

hey gents ! can anybody help me... the celery stick was installed in the aft position ( toward the props ) and sitting infront the drive it seemed obvious the front position of the celery stick gives maximum downtrim range of the drive , but now i,m not absolutely sure anymore.

can anybody of you clarify ?

thanks much

Doesn't have anything to do with that, its for trim limit angle according to the type of bravo drive B1 and 2 forward, B3 aft

thanks alldodge !

yes i,m aware of the drawing you posted , as far as i understand on the bravo III the trim limit insert is positioned aft as a "fail safe position" , limiting maximum trim in range because the duoprop may otherwise generate that much stern lift dangerous bowsteering can occour. otherwise when you know what you are doing you can improve the hole shot even more - but have to trim up when the boat starts to plane.

i changed it from the aft position to forward position like in the bravo I and II , but wanted to verify the forward position allows the drive to trim in at more angle.

Sorry my misunderstanding... While it would allow the drive to come in closer that might cause your drive to be damaged. The lower prop housing is a bit different ten the B1 and 2. Before I would even attempt it I would remove the trim cylinders, let the drive rest against the stops and then run the trim all the way in. Now see if you can get the cylinders on, if this cannot be done then you may just brake something if installed the way your thinking
