Stern angle ???

Post by Lawman »

Does anyone know the stern angle for my F30 Clean Machine? Need to do new swim platform supports and don't know what size/angle to buy, any help would be appreciated.

Why not just use or make your brackets at 90 degrees. Then shim as necessary under the platform. Can't imagine it being much. Or...

Get yourself some easy bend tubing, and lay up against transom, bend until you get the right angle for the platform to lay at 90 degrees and make or purchase your brackets from those dimensions?

I know they sell them 12-14 degrees and 15-18 degrees like the ones pictured, but i'll figure it out, thanks.

I got all of my stuff, including the platform from Butler Marine Products. They should know the angle of the platform and they make great brackets as well which make it easy to remove the platform. Here's a link to them.

Good luck,
