Question depth in shroud

with the 2797 it was 1/3 in and 2/3 out. this worked well. with the 2731 its 1/2in half out and still works quite well. weird thing is how air blows away from fan. with 2797 air exit straight back toward motor, and with 2731 it exit radially around fan tips. only changed was fan clutch, same fan. Gerry no complaints with either. just tried something different to optimize fan position in relation to shroud. Heck maybe I was fine before???
