Got some other stuff mounted today.... Mainly just have the guts to deal with now. I'll put cooling nipples on later.image.jpg
I will be applying lock tite to every screw as well.
Is it recommended to epoxy runners to hull, to mount the motor mount too? Or just mount it directly to the hull?Comment

I used some flat cf Rod then mounted on top of that so the mount screws would be more accessible. If you notice, when the mount sits in the hull, some of the Allen screws will be tough to get an Allen wrench in them if needed

I read about a few veterans using jb weld for their motor mounts. Is that the way to go? Just looking forte assurance. I was going to use west systems but I'll do whatever is best. ThanksComment

Jb weld works nice too. Either one honestly, but west is kind of thin, so a thickener like 406 silica helps thicken it up.
I'll pack a ziplock full of 406 in with your silicone to use at your discretion

I'm putting my motor mount in my mono too. I use jb weld. Here's some tips I've learned if you want to make I look good:
1) use a gram scale. Get the mix exact
2) it's thick. Use a heat gun on low heat to make it flow out. I use a paint brush to feather an blend it.
3) you can use graphite powder to darken it. Beware, it makes it thicker so you'll need to apply heat more often.
4) if you want it black, don't use epoxy dye in it. It makes it flexible. Unless you want that? What I do is after its cured, I scuff it up a little and mix up so cheap, clear 5 minute epoxy, then put 2 or 3 drops of black epoxy dye in it and brush it on. It looks killer when done.
I tried the 406 in my west but I can't get it to flow smooth. I think maybe I got a bad can of it? It's not completely powdery, it has small clumps or bb's in it that's hard to mix in. Maybe someone else who uses it can confirm if this is the way it's supposed to be? If not, I'll order more.
Here's my mono as is right now
Here's a completed motor mount with the above process
