Yes, I was looking at the angle iron `fairing´ But there is room for a wood/fibre/epoxy nicely shaped foil to get the flow sorted for the rudder. As said, bigger prop, lower rpm. ( still concerned as to low engine revs on no load) Keep us informed.

I thought that a picture of the stern arrangement of my boat may be helpful. This drives Kala Sona along at over 7 knots with a 16HP Albin AD21 engine. She is 27ft 5ins long and weighs in at around 5 tons. [image]http://s139.photobucket.com/albums/q319/KevinCroll/[/image]

Kala Sona is for sale. A bargain waiting for someone.

Many thanks for that Simon it is much appreciated. You can now put the letters FOTTC (Friend Of The Technically Challenged) after your name! The picture is not as clear as I thought that it was either!

Thank you. That is Sikkens Cetol. A rub down with wet and dry and two maintenance coats every year although I think that it may go to two years. The transom has always looked very good. I have done the toe rails with the same stuff and they still look good after three years.
