How about angles? What is the angle from the beam (how far it sticks out past the side of the boat) and is it compounded?

so the compound angle was for aesthetics or for the performance of the gate? How did you come up with 22.5 degrees? No reason to reinvent the wheel if you know what I mean. Additionally I have read several posts from people saying that it doesn't generate a lot of pressure on what it is mounted to. Although I haven't witnessed it first hand but watching the videos I have to believe this isn't the case. There redirecting a lot of water. I curious for your thoughts on that. thanks.

The compound was also to follow the side of the boat, that was the 10 degree. the 22.5 was out from boat and also following the transom down. My first post was sort of misleading. as far as the amount of force generated. I have no way of calculating that but if you stick the end of an oar in the water doing 10.5mph its about the same.
Function before fashion!
Cool. I've been kicking around th idea of a modular system that clamps onto the step and is automated like the teakgate system.
