    It will over rev the motor and take out the bearings to start.

          More stuff comin at you bro!Tracking#0310 2010 0000 7470 9576 USPS.ETA,Thurs 4-12-12. Mason i made the standoff and sent it with the other items. You will need to cut it to the proper length for the strut Zac sent.Cut the excess from the back or transom side cause the front face of the standoff is very close to the dimensions of a stock Genesis strut which i modeled it after. When you do this make sure ur cut is square,also i didn't drill the holes cause i dont know if that is the exact same mount.I hope you have use of a drill press,it will make that part a snap! I also included a 5mm/.150 collet.Wont be long now bro!!

              Alright this boat will be in the water in no time! lol

              Maybe your collet will be in a little better shape then the one I sent him! I was looking around but all of mine were in about the same shape. They will hold but the tangs were getting worn on the inside.

                      electrical tape will work fine Mason.Prob the cheapest option too! Hockey tape is excellent also,but it might pull ur paint or clearcoat off!!

                        There is a ton of different types of tape. I have been using some of that hocke tape they call it from Ben over at fightercat. It has been good stuff and comes off nice without damaging stuff. But then again my Grandfather liked the proboat tape he got (before his mystic went up in smoke from the esc just randomly catching fire) so it is good as well I guess.

                        Then again the electrical tape would probably be your easiest thing as H20 said

                          Ok. Sounds good. It seems i need a Y connector for something i have planned. To keep the boat from sinking, i had an extra water outlet, i bet i could just tie that into my cooling system, cuz lets face it, its too late to fill it... Hah. Also, what will i need to seal up the holes for the strut and stuff?

                                Silicone for the holes where the bolts will come thru the transom,it stays flexible and you can still take the hardware off with ease.Not so easy with a hard curing epoxy.
