Default installing floats

I'm getting ready to bolt on my floats. What is the proper place to put them as to the c/g, the step on the float, and how much should the float be ahead of the prop. The fuse is 51" and the floats are 36". I'm running a 12-6 prop, I have heard the prop should be half it's length in front of the floats ( this would be 6" in this case), but it does't come out that way. Any help in this is greatly appreciated. The way I have it now is the float and the prop are about in line and this doesn't seem right.
