Very large motor a long way back on that boat. Cavitation is going to be a problem.
I am aware of cavitation. Just wondering how is that going to effect the performance of the motor. Will it induce vibration?
It's all going to depend on where the bow waves from the hulls meet. The usual outboard/catamaran mounting position is well forward and close to the hulls, pair of 9hp to keep the weight off the stern.
I have a single 3.5hp centre mounted on my catamaran yacht tender. I had to make a large cavitation plate to get the prop to bite at all in the first place. I then built a Korts nozzle and now have no cavitation and good directional control. Vibration will not be a problem.
