Installation - Quick BTQ110 series User Manual

INSTALLATION REQUISITES:
THE TUNNEL
• The position of the tunnel will depend on the interior and exterior shape of the boats bow.
• Optimal positioning of the tunnel will be in the bow and as low as possible, at least 0.75 times the tunnel diameter from the
waterline.
• To avoid cavitation in the propeller, the tunnel
must be positioned as low as possible.
• The lever effect in the boat is proportional to the
increase of the distance (L1 and L2) between the
barycentre and the position of the tunnel A and B.
F
For greater lever effect prefer position B to
position A.
• An increase in the length of the tunnel increases
the effect of the loss of charge, decreasing the
nominal driving force.
• To limit losing charge, the optimal length is equal
to 3-4 times the tube diameter; a ratio of up to 6
can be tolerated.
