TRANSOM ANGLE (AGAIN).

charlie_the_tuna · #1 05-14-2007, 02:28 AM

ok, we have almost established the transom angle at 15 degrees.
i'm having brackets made for my swim platform.
do i describe the angle at 105 degrees?
do i describe the angle at 75 degrees?
do i simply add or subtract the 15 degree transom angle from a 90 degree angle?

i shoulda just bought a jetski.

CTT...is there any way for the guy makin' the platform to have access to the boat?...

nah reel, i already have the platform itself.
i have to pretty much describe it to the guy to get the brackets made.

In my eyes, the transom is 15* from vertical. So you could subtract that from 90 and call it 75*. Just remember, this opinion is worth almost as much as you paid for it ;)

Just tell the guy about how it angles back 15 and he shloud be able to figure it out. The answaer would be 105 degrees as 75 would make it a slide instead of a swim platform.

Now that I have thought about it a little more if the bracket is mounted on the top of the platform it would be 75 and if it is mounted below its 105.

Yes, 105 on the bottom
