bonewar... as far as the oil goes what we would always use in the nitro world was a 50/50 mix of stp engine oil treatment and any weight motor oil. the stp is real thick and the 50/50 mixture thins it out just the right amount that it flows through the shaft without just all running out. if you find that it is going through too much lube you can use a small screan in front of the outlet on the bottle

Not sure if this helps but all I have ever used is just ordinary engine oil. The same as you put into your car, not marine grade or anything.
This has worked well for me for many years.
It wipes of the flex shaft good enough and does not appear to gum or clog up at all.
By the way you really cut the hull appart in this build. I am sure Oliver Siess is having greaf just looking at it.

Jeepers,
I bought the lighter from the local gas station.
Chuck , Shane ,
Thanks for the ideas on the oil boys.
Shane,
There's not much room to work in these Maritimo hull's.
And i really like the clean look,every thing hidden.
When i'm finished you won't know that it has been cut.
Also the hull is 3 times as strong as the original .
I pulled out my Peter Zicha CNC motor mount and polished it up .
It came out looking like a mirror. Awesome
Also a little work done on the stuffing tube mount.

A few pictures of the Simrad and the M12 together.
And the thunder power for both cats.
Got a few days off. So i'm going to get some work done on the M12.
Glassing in the front cut away section and the back hatch as well.
Then when the rain stops paint.
Next update when the glassing is finished.

Looks a little crowded in there. Let me know when you need to free up some room and I'll take the simrad off your hands. :)Catching Air!Comment

Update
Been busy,
I've epoxied the original deck back on the cat.
I epoxied 1" pieces of carbon fiber around the cut out section of the deck,
then added the deck piece and taped everything down flat.
Let it cure for 24 hours .
To seal the deck i used flow coat . Let it dry then sanded it almost back to the glass. To achieve the perfect smooth surface without the hatch details and no bog.
I've also started working on the back hatch setup , trying to figure out how to make it water prof ???
More on that at a later date.

Dude those decals are going to make it look identical to the real one,,righton brother!!!So my issue is i have a mini mystic build going and this is the second hull the first one the hull was top half and bottum half and the hatch well its plastic and i layed fiberglass in the bottum worked great then mounted my strut and stuffing tube went great also then glued the two halfs together and it worped the sides of the hull but i did some bondo and smoothed it out not perfect but not bad so i went to paint it neon yellow and it turned out like crap so i sanded it and tryed again and crap again so i gave up but because of the worped sides the guy sent me another hull so this time i decided to paint it first cuz he already glued it together for me and sprayed the primer white(ok),sprayed the yellow( not perfect but ok), sprayed the clear and yep it started cracking up now i got mad,,, maybe you can see it in the pics..Comment

I learned a lesson... I had a 240lv castle floating around my workbench.... ended up getting a small screw under the shrink.... powered it up one day and that screw shorted out my esc... now all my esc's stay in a space that looks alot like your lipos drawer... so get that hv240 in the lipo drawer...LOL
By the way Bonewar... this is a sickening build... congrats to a A+ job...
