ENGINE OFFSET ??

Hi guys, can anyone point me in the right direction? I am installing a 40cc gasser in a 98" Beaver on floats, what do you suggest for torque offset? The engine is bigger than required, but I will limit rpm and probably under prop it. I want the power margin to be able to fly it scale and as quiet as possible.
Thanks
Terry

Center the prop shaft in the cowl. The kit likely already has right thrust built into the firewall. If you built it yourself and did not add right thrust to the firewall about 2 degrees will be just peachy.

you may need about 1 degree of down thrust, as my planes call for too
