First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[masonis1]

I have a little park where i tested before about a mile away. Kinda small but good for testing.

For the steering,keep the rod as straight as possible with no drastic bends.Check that the throw is smooth and doesn't bind up.

[masonis1]

Where should i drill the hole and how big should it be?

[izcain]

Thats lookin better and better mason

[masonis1]

Thanks to you, its looking great. Your parts rock... Ha thanks again. I hope i can get this beast sitting on the water soon.

[izcain]

Do you have a small boot or something for the rod to pass thru the transom for sealing? You may want to look at getting one.

[masonis1]

The one mark sent had a big boot on it.

[izcain]

Once you are getting close to I can't stress how important it is to do a bathtub test better to know before going to the pond and losing the whole thing to a small leak lol

[masonis1]

I dont understand how you use that or put it in.

[izcain]

oh right on as long as you have a way to seal it off

[masonis1]

How to i place the boot?

[izcain]

What does the boot look like. I might use a small piece left over from that stuffing tube and make the hole and seal that piece of tube to the hole that way it gives you something to clamp the boot onto for the rod to pass thru.

You can drill a small hole through the transom in line with the arm of the rudder.There is a hole for a rod or linkage to go through on the rudder right.

Ok. Im too tired. Im lost. Ill just figure this stuff out tomorrow. Anymore tips. Lemme know. Hah

[masonis1]

There is a hole for that. I will put the piece i got from mark on tomorrow.
