Went to install a prop halo and came across an issue. I think... Here for opinions.
So I aligned the halo "ring" in line with the tips of the prop blades. (My thought was either there, or ahead of the prop by a bit. In my head, this would give the best angles for the line to be held off away from the prop) -thoughts here guys?
Right before I went to drill the holes in the leg I realized the two back (stern) bolts would be going into the zinc on the bottom side of the leg. Thank god I caught that one...
But moving the unit back, enough for those two bolts to clear the zinc, moved the ring behind/back from the centre of the blade tips. looks like an inch or more.
This just doesn't seem right to me.
Ive attached four pics, two where I thought it should go, But was going to interfere with the zinc, and two of where it would have to sit to clear the zinc.
Am I crazy? should this ring be inline with the blade tips or ahead ideally, not behind them?
Hoping I can see some shots of other peoples to get an idea of the front to back alignment....![image0.jpeg image0.jpeg](https://sportfishingbc.com/data/attachments/94/94006-d1d70d0aa94aa57c65b17de350930246.jpg)
