RE: MHZ Z-drives

Yes, I am also very curious to see how these parts are. From the pics, they look great!

RE: MHZ Z-drives

Yes, I am taking many pictures!
I think these drives will be very well performing: by the way, they measure 12,5cm from transom to drive dog. This is appropriate for your hull.

I hope they will...

RE: MHZ Z-drives

If the quality is poor, it no longer is savings, but a lot more expense and hassle!

RE: MHZ Z-drives

Good to know about the cables JAW.
Yes, also I would run the plastic all the way back: both for the salt and for the boat's hydrodrag!

I just received an answer from RCMK, regarding their new...

RE: MHZ Z-drives

This is how the lenkstrut drives looks on a 1260mm Titus from MHZ.
I like the scale looks of it, although (as JAW pointed out) I don't really like the idea of those drive calbes flexing under all my...

RE: MHZ Z-drives

Hello mate, thank you for the hatch!

Unfortunnately the MHZ Z-drives I ordered are no longer available, therefore I am considering the steerable drives from WD200.

RE: MHZ Z-drives

I just measured her: from transom to bow she is exactly 1430mm

RE: MHZ Z-drives

Wouldn't want a roughwaterApache that doesn't keep its bow up because of props too distant from the transom...
