delta v6 skeg position

Post by piebald1962 »

Hi i am restoring a Delta v6 at the moment and need to know the positioning of the skegs. When i got my boat it had 3 skegs . 2 immediately behind the bulkhead and 1 just in front of it mounted in the recess under the front seat. I am replacing the skegs as they were very thin and you could bend by hand. I need to know if i need all 3, 2, or just 1. Also the distance from the transom to the leading edge of the skeg where it mounts onto the hull. Any help with this matter would be much apreciated or even if i could view one locally to norfolk. I live in Beccles just 17 miles from Norwich. Looking forward to hearing from somebody who can help me on this matter . Many thanks Stephen

I knew you'd pop up eventually, I've lost you email and couldn't remember you user name.

Mine as you know as two cast skegs. I did measure the the distances for you but have since lost them. From memory the rear of the skegs was roughly 5ft from the rear. I'm not gonna be going to where I store them for about a week but when I do I'll have another look for you unless somebody else can answer your question.
Life isn't a rehearsal!!!
