Default Re: Flush mount vs fairing block ducer 28 footer

If I had my choice tilted element would be the way I'd go. Much less chance of loosing bottom while under way and nothing sticking out of your hull if you happen to run aground or hit something.

Had a fairing block on one of my old boats. Ran into some shallows while a drift once, bottom scraped some rocks... Thought I was OK until I got a call from the marina the boat was sitting low in the water the next day. Found that the ducer/block became dislodged and water was coming in from there.
