I just got a run on my boat with the turn fins now.

Man... This thing is on rails. I can full speed turn it 180 degrees in a 6 foot radius or less I bet. Insane.

as you've seen on my videos al, i have only one on the right side mounted on hull side and not the transom, i also have the rudder travel set at about 70% which means i can swing out high and turn in low, if they work for you as they are then thats cool, my way works for me, i apologise if you felt like i was ''teaching nan how to suck eggs''

heres how i have the turn fin on my boat, works well and goes like its on rails

I raced with the turn fins at 90 and one on each side very little drag if any , the trim tabs are wound up out of the way and a 45 carbon prop , ( sorry just had to post the 95 GTR LM pic )

what do you mean when you refer to ''the trim tabs are wound up out of the way''

still looks nice, i remember the original photo's you posted

madphil

Hi Nick i have taken the screws out for ajustment and bent the tabs up so they are out of the water (i should have taken them off before painting ) the boat came with that setup , a well set up FE race boat should'nt need t/tabs .

hi phil

i was thinking of taking the brake pads (trim tabs) of aswell, just adds drag, have you run your boat with the fins in there new position ?? how is it now ?? hope you dont feel like i was being insulting as this was not my intention

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MORE PROBLEMS THAN THEY ARE WORTH RUNNING TRIM TABS SO I WILL NEVER FIT THEM, I FIND MY PAST BOATS HAVE ALWAYS RUN BETTER WITHOUT THEM,,, NICK NO OFFENCE TOOK, I WILL RUN TURN FINS AS THEY ARE..AL

nick 30

its ok, no offence taken, it works for you mate

do you run your batts more forward than usual, i'm just not sure how to run them, when the boats running on the water its pretty much flat

IM SET UP AS I HAVE ALWAYS SET MY GAS BOATS, WITH THE C OF G 1/3 THE WAY FROM THE TRANSOM OR AS NEAR AS I CAN GET IT...

Hi phil .you well.

MAKARA103

HI BROD YES THE CAT RUNS FINE COULD DO WITH XL MOTORS IN IT TO GIVE IT A BIT MORE GRUNT,AND I HAVE CHANGED THE STINGERS FOR ONES WITH LEAD TEFLON BUSHESINSTEAD OFTHE ONES SUPPLIED WITH NEEDLE ROLLERS,AND PUT UGRADED FLEXI DRIVES IN, I PURCHASED IT WITH NO MOTORS OR SPEED CONTROLLERS IN IT AND FIT IT OUT MY SELF, I DO THINK ITS DIFFERENT TO THE HOR CAT, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD THEM SIDE BY SIDE, SO I CANT BE 100%.........
