BOAT TRANSOM CENTER LINE
Measure across the transom to determine the transom center line
(2)
and draw a vertical line. On a "V" bottom boat, the vertical line
should pass through the keel.
Use a pencil and tape (1) measure to locate center line.
Put one end of the tape measure on a chine and place the other end
on the upper edge of the transom, somewhere past the "visual"
center. Place a mark (2) on the transom and record the distance
measured.
(1)
Use a pencil and tape (1) measure the same distance from the
(2)
opposite chine and make a mark (2).
(1)
Measure the distance between the two marks and place a third mark
halfway between them. The line connecting the third mark with the
EQUAL EQUAL
keel is the center line. MARK MARK
If dual outboard motors are to be installed, mark transom at a
minimum of 330 mm (13 in) from center line (1).
Before drilling the holes for installation of the outboard motors, set
(1) (1)
the outboard motors on the respective center lines and check
whether the boat is well-balanced. If a boat is out of balance, adjust
by sliding the outboard motor to the adequate position.
