Then there is the issue of shaft angle.. as the HP increases the shaft angle results in the stern rising and the bow digging in.. how do you think that would effect control?

I recall reading on the Boat Diesel forum a couple of years ago that there were more than one O-ring designs Cummins used.. be sure whatever you buy are specified for your engines.

I bought two replacement "windows" for my '83 B33 from Beckson. I believe Bertram favored them for a lot of the ports used when our boats were built. High Tide might have them if Beckson didn't make them.
