It doesn’t look terrible but I think I’m going to follow PB advice and just mount them flush at the top. Thanks again PB for your insight. I’m not going to split hairs, I’m not trying to set a new speed record or anything, just trying to float and run a little skinnier plus help support a heavy motor.      There’s going to be a small gab between the bottom inside corners of the pods and the transom if I mount them flush at the top, but I don’t think it’s going to adversely affect the performance much if at all. I’m going to be running a 115 fore stroke so I’m not too worried about it. Besides as long as your don’t have anything below the transom you’re not going to have any parasitic drag I think that’s more important than anything else.  If they are angled down below the transom it would be like running with your trim taps down all the time.</blockquote>
