Generic Aquasport Rebuilding Topics / How deep an Extension pod build with Suzuki DF250?
« Last post by jswd32 on April 24, 2024, 04:31:01 PM »Hi All,
I have pushed the button on closing the transom on my 1986 250xf and having a extension bracket being built to hang 2x Suzuki DF250's. Its being built into the hull and stringers in fibreglass and will extend out from the keel for the benefit of additional buoyancy.
At present I only have one Suzuki DF250, but thought it wise to make provision for more power in the future.
The question I wanted to ask, is what is the generally safe accepted transom extension to allow a safe full tilt with a Suzuki DF250? I have read that 26" is tight and most go for 30" to be safe with the V6 motor.
Appreciate if anyone can point me to the answer on this? I'm thinking 30" would be wise as it's guaranteed to fit.
Cheers
Jonathon
