Does anyone out there or Do you know anyone that has a 582 on there gyrobee.
Reason I asked is that since I bought my 582 I set it on the engine mount and found that in the location of were the engine mount is at now and with the 582 with a C gearbox and a 60" three blade prop. I am about 6 to 7 inches lower than were the original 447 prop centerline is and the Prop will hit the keel tube. Will it hurt to move the engine up and just make sure that my center thrustline of the Prop is in the same place as the 447?
I have to make a beefier motormount anyway to hold the 582 and add some brackets to the aft end of the mount to support the back part of the motor mount to the keel .
Thanks Brian
