    Gil, You might as well put the other two on each motor so it looks uniform and I would use Nyloc nuts too. This thing is turning out awsome, you should have easily over 100 mph boat!

            Gil, Have you used the TP water jackets? Do they work good? I haven't used any of them yet, I get them with the motors because they are free but I use HRC jackets on all my TP motors.

              Honestly never used TP jackets..I use to swap to Leo ones that have bigger water inlets but in this case I will get a try to them .What I can see is that they have smaller water inlets but as the motor runs cooler probably this isn't a big deal.Thanks Gill

                  For my TP 4070 I use an HRC jacket but, I cut off the nipples, solder on larger ID ones and I also open up all the other holes in the adjustable inlet nipples. Flow is MUCH better and temps have gone down too. I'm modifying all my boats that are not for spec racing this way when possible.

                  I did a how to thread on it once.

                    Yes I use a lot of HRC stuff, Dave is only about 4mi. from me so it's easy to just go over there. He now has Motor mount rails for the Neu 1527, 1530 and TP 4070

                            Are the props going to counterrotate? Or are those props just for show?

                              How are the Aluminum supports for the water pick ups fastened inside the hull? Nice Gill.
