Spending a little time in the shop to catch up after the holidays. Installed the custom bracket on the boat. Servo mount next.

I like the rear motor mount. Simple, sound, and probably makes a good heat sink too.

Always trying to be innovative. The tentative servo mount is a good place with the ESC, receiver pack and receiver on the right. Power cells in the front to make a great balance.

Nice. I really like the slot in the motor mount. I'm sure you are plenty aware, but I would ensure that long distance pushrod is in tension when in a turn. I run a pretty long one in my smaller PT and it seems to work well.

One of the good things about a push rod on the left..... it pulls in the turn and not push when turning right. Gotta see id a 40.161 will fit.

Turn fin completed and installed.

Hey Randy,

You may want to look at putting a brace across the engine well area to help ‘tie’ the deck together at or near the sponson transom area. At the speed we are throwing these PT SS45’s into the turns the hull is doing a lot of flexing trying to keep the fin hooked up.

Later,
Mike

Curious to see what is with the extra 2 tubes off the main stuffing tube......?

Water cool stuffing tube to keep the epoxy from getting soft.

Nice! So it's a large diameter tube creating a sort of water jacket around the actual stuffing tube, and the oiler tube passes all the way through the jacket and solders to the stuffing tube?
Sorry, still semi-new to building, picking up all the info I can.
