MHZ Mystic M 1140mm build

Yep this one is really good !!! the plan is to inatall it, slide a water tube 2inches or so over the nipple and fill with grease "dont know how that sounded but anyway" havin a small hole in the stuffing tube where the nipple is lined up, should allow it to suck grease into the stuffing tube and lubricate the shaft while driving.

Oh, Its not big, will fit in your hull easy I imagine

2nd thought .....stuff the damage to the cable from the collar...how about loosing propshaft, drive dog, and that precious PROP
even if I didnt get the grease system I would still use the collar. and soooo wished I had one installed!


Watch me driving past @ 100+ mph pulling 300A ........LOL

I've been trying to devise a way to grease the strut and tube without ripping it apart every day out.It's gotta be hard on collets,all this on and off.Just broke one yesterday when I rushed to grease my Miss Behavin'.

Hmm... Why, on and off all the time? what I do. I have about half an inch of flex cable showing from the collet. Then 1/4 inch teflon tube showing from the brass stuffing tube.

OK, so what I do is... I have a syringe filled with grease with a pointy attachment. spin up the motor/s (as low RPM as you can) then just squeeze some grease at the end of the teflon tube. The flex cable will pull in the grease itself because its spinning. just do it untill you see the grease coming out the other end. only takes a min. if you rew up the motors for 2sec before you pore the grease there most likely wont be any water in the teflon tube. I always do this and my wires still look brand new

[srislash]

Well,that's a damn fine idea.I like it!I have the syringe of grease,the end on it has a sort of flat point.Should work.Thanks man.

[nata2run]

No problem man, you'll see it works and you think DAMN.
LOL

You have some sick A** rigs!!! I almost feel bad you visiting here and I dont offer coffee LOL

[nata2run]

Hmm, the project is on stand by, well untill I get some new hardware. Should be a couple of weeks away. The weather is just perfect at the moment TYPICAL!!
I'm working on some schemes for the boat, I would love to get it painted before I get the new hardware. Here is something I came up with.... nothing FLASH but I think I need plain.

That's good,I like that.

[nata2run]

Thanks, I'm just playing at the moment I really like the JBS scheme but I got no one that can paint that. I still think I will go silver and take it from there

[srislash]

Yeah,I usually do the main colour and it morphs from there.It' fun.I used to do alot of them locally.It's odd really,schemes just won't come to me and then POP,there it is.Usually while I sit in traffic and can't scratch it down.

[nata2run]

Lol yep, many of my ideas come like that. Damn just want to get the boat in the water

[srislash]

All my water is frozen right now.Supposed to warm up though.We can go through this a couple times a winter here in Vancouver.

[nata2run]

Man here is like boiling at the moment 36 degrees what ever that is in F but it's hot gotta go slow on the boats for sure
