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.
