What resin are you using? Only concern I have with such a small footprint of that servo mount is the potential to rip loose. And that serve is only 50oz/in?

I use marine grade epoxy resin with a fast cure hardener, 4:1 mix. The only cases I've seen mine break loose were bad sanding and/or brittle epoxy. Proper sanding and degreasing plus adding some grooves/holes for epoxy to grab onto will keep things from breaking lose. I add some strengthening/thickening with silica/milled fiberglass. Did the same thing in my HPR which saw some really nasty crashes in its life, but the servo and motor mounts never came loose.
The power of the servo seems enough for this boat, it turns well and centers right away. If it fails for any reason, I can fit a bigger (low profile) one in there. But I just had this servo left over from a boat that I sold so i wanted to utilize it. I'd never get a micro servo for a boat like this otherwise because the price makes no sense, they still cost the same!Comment

may I ask you what did you use for hatch locking bolts and brackets?A bit of progress, not much but just wanted to update the thread while I'm waiting on the stinger shims and resin.
The hatch locking bolts and bracket are done. Nevermind the hideous original hatch line, apparently they revised the hull since this iteration to square off the hatch corners... Mine barely fits... Also installed the water outlets and going to mount the rudder and use the pull cable system with a micro hitec servo.

they are called brad hole t nuts, can find them in the hardware isle. If you can't find any stainless, then get zinc plated in the furniture area in the same isle, they will be fine if not exposed to water too much.Comment
