yes and no ,it may or may not work ,the fin needs to + -1" CoG center of gravity look at the fin like a hinge ,your hull will pivot at the fin. CoG is ready to run.Fuel included see my 2 fingers that's CoG . Now the turn fin bracket will need to be long enough to get close + -
Many slot the top hole of the bracket eliminating the bend in the fin . The fin can and do bend under high speeds Keep it like you have. Testing will be the only way to know. If she turns nicley leave it . Adding a slot to the top bolt hole of the bracket will give you the ability to change the angle of the fin. The only way is to run it. You will find out quickly Make sure you can shut down the engine if she's not responding to you transmitter. Practice on the bench before you launch throttle finger forward to shut down. A prop working will shut due to the water resistance quickly. You will be on pipe or off pipe. Pipe should be in the 11'-12 1/2" to the wide dia of the pipe to center of the glow plug. Finding the right length only comes from testing. The engine ,pipe ,prop all need to be close. You will stall if off pipe ,sorry that's the way it is, no idle down to much will stall the engine Launch with a heave no set down
