transom shield positioning

Hi,

I am about to mount the transom shields to my 36' HydroCat which has seen a succession of idiots butchering the original holes and which I have had to re-glass and build up. I have the correct template from Volvo Penta and want to get the measurements just so, however I am unclear as to whether what I'm doing would be considered a "single installation" or a "twin installation".

Would a single engine in a single hull of a cat be considered a single installation? or because I'm mounting two (one in each hull) would it be considered a twin installation. The difference in measurements is substantial.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Paul

Single engine of course! The measurements refer to the lowest point in the transom or outside keel. With twins the vertical line is much longer to obtain space for the oil pans above the incline.
