Conclusions from the test:

First tests complete and the changes will be made shortly.  The power pod needs to go deeper in the water, the props cavitate slightly because the pod is not completely submerged, I guess I'm not as heavy as I thought............chuckle   I'm going to drop the motor about 3 or 4 inches so that we can get the full bite of water.  This should help thrust proformance, but all in all, not to bad for a good full test with the new rudder mounted to the power pod.
