    Backing into the slips, docking and slow speed maneuverability will not be a problem as the Arnesons actually dock better than the Bravo's as we have a better bite with the speed master propellers and our propellers are a bit farther aft than the Bravo's and this gives more mechanical leverage also.

    As for the wind on a 46' boat with a lot of free board, well that is a problem regardless of which ever drive is on the boat.

    Advantages, higher cruise speed which is probably the single best thing as you will cruise the boat for a greater percentage of time than you will be FFT. Also, higher top speed, less maintenance, better handling and less maintenance.

    Not sure where he got his. I think Teague will sell the 380 tab that fits on the 280 plate for just over a grand and rhe complete new set for just under $3000. Thee are some 380's on E Bay right now. One set used for $2000 and a set new for $3000.

    I know Dana makes a replacement tab to fit the K Plane system. But it's billet instead of cast.
