Hello Mike

Is there a place were I can get close up photos of the ride pads in relation to the sides of the sponsons.
I would like photos of both sides since there is a different overlap for each side.

Also is there a photo of all the hardware mounted at the transom and turn fin area....

That would be great if you could leed me to were I can download those pictures.

Thanks

Joe, the Overlap is already built into the pad length. Its probably somewhere around 1/8" overlap. You start at the sponson transom, and move forward from there!

Rudder gets mounted on the right as far over in the engine well area as possible so that you can still bolt up your screws, and the turn fin you will want to get as far to the right as possible. I like to line my blade up with the outside edge of the sponson.

Hope this helps as I am not sure I have any pics of those things. Mainly, you need to remember, the SX400 has the same footprint as your GP310, so set it up similiar and you will be fine.

Hello Mike

I did not explain my question good.....
What I needed to see was the overlap with all of the ride pads in relation to the outer sponson side.

Another words like in my GP310 the ride pad protrudes beyond the sponson side (Turnfin Side Sponson)
On the opposite sponson side the ride pad is flush to the outer side of the sponson.
See attached photos of my GP310.

Turn Fin Side

It will matter how I place the sides on and in what order i.e. If it is
flush on the opposite side I would mount all the ride pads and sand flush on the outside then attach the outer side of the sponson and the sand to the ride pads.
On the Turn Fin Side I would mount the outer side first then sand so as to let the ride pads overlap the side.

Hope this does not seam silly but I just want to do it right....

Thanks
Joe
