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.

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.

Oil tank >0,2 x D Waterline Oil tube Feed nipple Tunnel center line MG_0046 Oil Tank Installation MC_0023 ! Please refer to the graphic for special considerations relating to your model ! Install the oil tank above the waterline by at least 20% of the distance from the waterline to the centre of the tunnel. This ensures enough overpressure for the oil in the gear leg.
