BOAT TRANSOM CENTER LINE
Measure across the transom to determine the transom center line
[3]
and draw a vertical line. On a "V" bottom boat, the vertical line
should pass through the keel.
Use a pencil and tape measure [1] to locate center line.
Put one end of the tape measure on a chine [2] and place the other
end on the upper edge of the transom, somewhere past the "visual"
center. Make a mark [3] on the transom and record the distance
measured.
[2] [1]
Use a pencil and tape measure [1] and make a mark [2] on the
[2]
transom at the same distance from the opposite chine.
[1]
Measure the distance between the two marks and make a third
mark halfway between them. The line connecting the third mark with
EQUAL EQUAL
the keel is the center line. MARK MARK
If dual outboard motors are to be installed, mark transom at a
minimum of 355.5 mm (14 in) [1] from center line.
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 the boat is out of balance,
adjust by sliding the outboard motor to the adequate position.
