    Thanks' Doug,
    I remember reading somewhere that the space between props should be 1.5-2 times the diameter of the propellers, which calls for a minimum of 82.5.
    Thank you for the reply

    Hi All
    I am building a 1.5Mtre PT boat, Running twin props, My problem is my gearbox is 78.6mm centre to centre running twin shafts with 55mm four bladed props. if I run them parallel I will not have enough distance between the props.
    My question is would it be possible to run them in a slight "V"
    TIA
    Chris
