Progress. We decided to use the aeromarine bearing and seal assembly. Well I was bummed because it didn't fit. It was too long and too big around to fit with the motor sitting low like I want. What do I do? Throw the towel in? Nah, I then remembered I have a lathe. Let's make it work. It's not like any of the rest of the boat is a bolt together ordeal lol. Here's before....
And after....

Think she's gonna be ready for her maiden this weekend. I'm pretty close now. Got the shaft cut, soldered and drive dog on it. Steering linkage is done. Servo mounted. I'm just waiting on epoxy to cure now. I started using those aluminum through hull fittings that the boot goes on. I like those much better than the little plastic push in collar. Used a stainless steering rod on this one. I want no rust. The aeromarine stuffing tube sell fit nicely. I wonder if I'm supposed to put a rubber cap on that fitting where you oil it? Hmmm.

I got tired of fooling with the nuts (lol) inside the transom for the strut mount. I made this do-dad with a carbon plate and some riv-nuts. Once in it will be epoxied. I originally drilled and tapped the epoxy and carbon plate inside the hull that I added for reinforcement but decided to go this route because I don't trust it holding the other way.
