Core sound 17 mk3 coamings

[rhbush]

I am starting to dry fit the sheer strakes and coaming on my Core Sound 17 Mk3. I am pretty sure that I want to add the optional oarlock cutout. It looks like the plans have lots of information for the fore/aft location of the cutaway but I don't see anything that really shows how much lower that it should be. I think the plans say something about "a couple of inches". I am not sure how literally to take that. 

 

Anyone done that on theirs? If so, how much and how did it work?

Well, my mother used to say "if it was a snake it would have bit you". The information I was looking for was right there in the instructions. It is 2 inches.
