Hi Charles, Bummer about the yard’s strap placement. I’ve got hull #79. There are a couple of pretty close-up pics of the strut in https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B-NqAxQ6JxFTbHRCcy1saUxTM3M?usp=sharing from when I installed a folding prop. Without double-checking at the boat, from the pics it looks like the angles are square from the strut base to the strut arm, in both the roll and pitch axes. But it cants to port just because of where & how it’s mounted on the hull. I’ll be down at the yard Friday and will try to remember to take a close look / more pics.
