Demeanor did a mod on a bobs for his lil tunnel. It turned out good with a lot of tweaking on his part. Hit the search...

Man, I'd think that thing might slow you down more than going up in propshaft height would speed you up. I'm sure someone will jump in and correct this, but I remember hearing the old pitot tube speedos (which have a much smaller cross section) would cut 3mph off your speed at 100mph, and the faster you went, the more they slowed you down.

James,
Not an STV, but I installed Bob's pick-ups on my Talon 22. The front of the square tube is cut on a 45° angle and a very small length of the tube needs to be below the hull surface to get plenty of water pressure. I recall my first time out I had WAY too much water pressure and just kept inching them up. Maybe 1/16-1/8" of the 45° cut was below the hull when finally dialed in.
In my case I picked up a few mph and the boat handling improved with the engines higher using hull mounted pick-ups.

The Bobs unit is junk.

On the STV & LCB installations, did you make a channel in the hull also or does pick up hang a little below bottom of step?
Thanks
