That look's like a nice garage dolly. Do you have anymore pics of it?

Yeah, but it's a Schiada...:thumbsdown

So I guess people just put the pickups where ever they feel they look good. No reasoning behind it, is that correct?
Looking at Marc's, I'd say those are about 10-12 off center. And even with the pads, so about 1.5 - 2.0 from the end of the plate.
That Prime Schiada looks about the same also.

Mine are half way between the inner most turn buckles and the next ones out, and even with the turn buckle pads.

So about the same then? So maybe we can say midway between the inner strake and the outer edge of the prop for both sides? I wouldn't think you'd want them directly behind either.

Another thing, the thru hull bulkhead fittings. Above or below the water line? Whats the thinking here? Does having them below make it easier on the pump to prime itself?

Mine are low because where they come thru the transom they go directly into the sea strainer for a clean connection.
