Engine anode settings (Sailfish twin OX66)

[grady33]

Does anyone know what the settings should be for the engine anodes? Im thinking the port engine should be a few clicks left and the Starboard should be a few clicks right? Right now, mine are centered.

If you have a regular and one counter rotating motor, tabs can be straight. You can also buy anodes without tabs. Note that if your tabs have a curvature to the fin, there is a regular AND a CR tab. The CR is curved the opposite direction.

Thanks. Starboard engine is regular rotation and port engine is counter. Didn't know I could buy anodes without the tabs. Thanks! Does not having tabs affect the steering in any way?

Not really for twins with reg and CR LUs. Misadjusted tabs on the same arrangement can affect steering.
So leave them straight. Note that if you use no tabs and run on one motor only you will notice a big difference.

I cut the fins off the anodes. Twins do not need them. In fact I'm seeing new engines with pancake anodes no fins.

I didn't know that was what they are called. Thanks for the info
