(IDEA) Splaying motors on an outboard cat!!
This is just an idea that I have.. Rigging my outboard cat, it has a narrow tunnel and likes to lean to the outside at low to mid speeds, which I do not like. Do you think splaying the motors in on the top and out on the bottom would help keeping it level in low to mid speed turns, and how do you think it would effect high speed handling if he skegs were still straight at high speeds?? And wondering how adjustments would effect everything with toe in and toe out(tie bar adjustments)?? This is just an idea, I'm wondering what everybody thinks about this WEIRD subject..

It seem like camber on cars to improve cornering. Of corse trim would act like caster and effect the angles and turn in.
