Do not allow the variable length of the tunnel walls to vary in length excessively. EG. the top tunnel wall is x 4 longer than the bottom wall. Water flow must have space to "straighten" itself for best Cavitation performance.
Pos. A Pos. B MG_0004 Tunnel installation in sailboats MC_0003 Some sail boats have a flat bottom and shallow draft in the bow section. This can make installing the thruster as far forward from the boats main pivot point diffi cult.
High water force while underway High water force while underway from wave contact MG_0003 Water Deflection MC_0003 A possible problem in sail boats or fast powerboats is that a non-rounded surface can generate drag from the back face of the tunnel, as it creates “flat”...
R = 0,1 x D (10%) Cavitation Angled tunnel ends for steel/ aluminium hulls MG_0002 Tunnel Ends MC_0003 Rounded tunnel ends will maximise thrust and minimise noise and cavitation. For best performance round the tunnel connection to the hull-side as much as possible. The minimum rounding has a radius of 10% of the diameter of the tunnel.
