tuncd: Nice boat. Love the carbon look. BTW... Where did you buy those T-Nuts for hatch ?

From HK. You may find all diameters.

Nice build.

one thing that concerns me though, is that there is only one screw in the sides of the motor mount & I can't see anything holding the rear of the motor in place. It may just be the photos. But if there is nothing supporting the rear of the motor it will start to move up & down, especially in a hard tumble, & will probably break the flex at the stuffing tube.

I've got one waiting to be built up for our EA class racing. Just haven't got around to it yet.
Bought mine online from 'dymotorshop'.

Same shop I bought. exept rudder and prop (TFL) all hardware from that shop. I made only a mistake I didnt place the shaft saver in to the stinger all the way.
But there is no leaking in the hull even a drop.

You are realy watchful. I had to move out rear support because of water jacket lenght. I was wishing to order shorter water jacket for the motor and reinstall rear support. Do you think that I really do this immediatelly?

[785boats]

Yes.
The single bolt in the side of the motor mount will not hold the motor steady. It will become a pivot point.The motor angle must stay in line with the flex shaft coming out of the stuffing tube or the whole thing can fly to bits.
You can of course leave the water jacket & just bolt on or glass in a couple of brackets to the rear of the motor mount further back so that the tail ring will fit behind the water jacket. Just a couple of bits of thin carbon fiber plate or aluminium will do the trick.
Offshore actually sell a little kit, but the brackets are easy enough to make

But you can just see the aluminium brackets I added in these pics for the tail ring.

I dont think that this trick Works for me with this jacket. it is realy long and there is no space left on the motor for the rear support even with this. I think I am gonna go for shorter jacket immediately.

[NativePaul]

You could glue a wedge of wood under the rear of the jacket with a hole in, then put a zip tie round the jacket to hold it down.

[785boats]

That's a good method that works too Paul.
Anything to keep the motor in line with the stuffing tube tuncd.

[iop65]

looking at the pictures i think there's enough motor left to put the ring on
good thing somebody pointed it out , i guess you wouldn't got far with the motor hanging on like that !!

[785boats]

I tend to agree. There is enough room to get the ring on there. You may need to file a few nicks in the ring where the screw heads for the endbell are to get it fully on.
But I have had the rings only half way on to the motor because of those bolts & it held just fine.

[tuncd]

I tried it but jacket leaks from the front side. Ordered shorter jacket already from RCECHO. But the store is not a serious one. I can not see my orders on their webpage. They did not even respond yet.

[TRUCKPULL]

One other small point.
Have your water outlet from the motor strait up at the top, so you get full water circulation around the motor.
