Vdrive Plate Struts - Their Value?

This is actually the best way to do it, but unfortunately sometimes space prohibits it!...

A four link system!!!:

yep, nothing plants the back tires like a four link, not even ladder bars, and infinitely more adjustable

oh yah...I didn't even think of it like that.

Rightio!!!
The 4 bolts hold brackets that join a four link system to plate and stringer mounts.

I actually thought RD would get at least another weeks work tied up in this one.

Hey Dave, where should the 4 link bars go? What is the very best spot to mount both on the stringers and the v-drive and what size and type material is best. My Hondo has braces but its far from an adjustable 4 link set up. Also, wouldn't it be best to attach everything to full length stringer rails to better distribute the "pull from the push" of the propeller.

Hey Jerry, I'm not the V-Drive god... I just stated that one setup was more rigid then the other.
If your genuinely interested in the answers to your questions, bring me the boat and drop it off for 2 weeks. When you pick it up 2 weeks later it'll be done and you won't need to know the answers to those questions becuase I'll have already done the RESEARCH and talked to the guru's about it for ya. I... Unlike some people though, would actually take the time to talk to the experts about it, in both the marine field, as well as mechanical engineering (since I have access to it anyways) guru's and form a basis after that. I wouldn't just take a look at someone elses rig and say "well I'm gonna do that" becuase that...
A. Lacks of originallity
B. Who knows if the 1st guy did it right?
but lets just say I did just copy someone elses setup that works arguments sake.. If someone came along and said "This setup it better becuase of this, this and this" I certainly wouldn't act like a little bitch about it.
That answer your underlying question?
