F32 Prop Shaft Angle

Does anybody know the angle off-hand? Thanks, Dave

David I believe is around 10 deg. With my Diesels I have 10 deg. down angle gears and the engines sit close to level . off course Mine is a F36 but my F30 was the same

Thanks Prowlerfish, That looks and sounds about right. I measured the angle quite a few years back, and just can't remember what I came up with. The boat is moored about and hour from home, so I can't measure it myself for several more days.

Does everybody concur with that number? Anybody think it's + or - 10 degrees?

Isn't this something Bob could comment on:?:
I have always regretted the lack of presence by the site owners who could likely be the most knowledgeable on these kinds of technical numbers.

My F-32 shaft angle is 10 degrees. I confirmed it when i repowered and drew my engine room in CAD so I have most dimensions available.

CAD ?

Sine=O/H, Cosine=A/H, Tangent=O/A

CAD= Computer Aided Design

short for

CADD= Computer Aided Design Drafting

Yes, understood, we old guys laugh, when the young guys go to CAD, before they press print, we are done, drinking coffee, (Ha-Ha)

"Young Guys"????? Thanks! I haven't been called that in 20 years!

Yes- I'm old enough to have drawn with t-square and triangles- then Mutoh drafting heads and now computer.

I fought it too... but while you were "done -drinking coffee", I was buiding part libraries and importable blocks that elimated redundant work that manula drafting never could.

oh- yeah- I was also checking virtual aseemblies while the parts were on the CNC and finding unexpected gothcha's before plating and assembly.

If you not moving forward- your falling behind.

Thank you for your reply,
Now, you and I are on the same page.
Last night, at work, 4 hours, wrote and prove in, 6 page CNC, not bad for us old guys
Thanks
