    Can anybody adivce me on the position to place a sterndrive unit on the transom of a RIB or small (6-10m) powerboat.

    Is it correct to position the cavitation place in line with the keel line (see drawing attached) or just under the waterline?

    That's correct, the cavitation plate has to be aligned with the keel.
