Could you tell me how long yours are from the transom out the back? Could you also tell me what the measurement is from the keel to center if you pillow block center line is? Thank younot the best pic, but its what i had on my phone... Excuse the dirt, shes been sitting for way too long

Is there anyone out there that has a 21-24 Vdrive cruiser with cavatation plates on it , could you post some pics? I’m trying to figure out how high to place my pillow block bezel plate. View attachment 897589
If I go right above the exhaust outlet flange that would put from the chine to rod center line about 9.5 Where would I find the longer turnbuckles at? I will be running an electric cav plate motor too.About right where those exhaust holes are lol....
From the chine on the corner of the boat, you should be between 6 and 8.5" above that to center of bar. 6"ish is more common on cruisers, 8.5"ish are more common on boats with longer pillow blocks and more vertically set turnbuckles.
If you are running electric actuator it's less critical. If you have a foot pedal over-ride its much more important to set correctly as you have a limited window of where the control rod can exit the transom (must sit below floor height), and how long the actuation arm is (longer arm needs more rod pull to move plates the correct distance)
Racey may chime in and have some but if not Bergeron Marine in AZ will have the turnbuckles.If I go right above the exhaust outlet flange that would put from the chine to rod center line about 9.5 Where would I find the longer turnbuckles at? I will be running an electric cav plate motor too.

Exactly this! The position of the control rod is the spot that will dictate the appropriate level of the pillow blocks. Turn buckles come in many different lengths and are very adjustable.About right where those exhaust holes are lol....

Look at the picture closer it’s attached it moves. Or at least it looks like it does to me.That is bizarre!! The center and left plate move but the right one is fixed?

LOL! Yes Dave, they all operate. I've never been a fan of the single turn buckle on the outside plates though. I have lost one on more than one occasion.looking closer you are right.. needed my glasses. Lol.
At this point it's where ever it fits and doesn't effect anything on the in or outside so you don't have to make any other major changesIs there anyone out there that has a 21-24 Vdrive cruiser with cavatation plates on it , could you post some pics?

There isn’t anything on that boat that isn’t bad ass. Wow.Those pick ups are bad ass. Are those all one piece?
