Phil Thomas SS21- Build

[Jeff Wohlt]

Nate, at this point all I can see you being able to do is run the teflon into the strut...unless you want to add more brass and it is not worth that.

The issue you may have is the strut bushing. Does your prop shaft fit the strut now without anything else in it? If so then run the teflon on into the nose but make sure the shaft in the strut does not rub or push on the teflon. Most of us ran this way some time again. I actually cut the brass off a good inch or so before the strut nose and it would make adjustment of the strut very easy with open teflon to the nose.

If you need a bushing for the strut...if it does not fit the stub now it can be made easily from 1/4" on down to 7/32 brass to fit the 3/16" prop shaft. Put a 5/16" ring on the outter edge so the bushing does not slide in to the strut.

If you need one I can make one for you as well.

Yell if you need help but you are close! Great build!

Thank you Douggie, What do you mean by bank? Help me out. Like more weight to
front and back of the hull...
Thanks for the advice, Im also going to use 10AWG wire and swap over
to CC bullet connector's. My local HS guy told me he figured the two deans
would be good for running no more than 5s, but Im swapping over
anyways. Im sure you guys know more than he does considering he's
not even into building anything, just sales.

Iv also asked Burgess at Burgess Body shop thats spraying the clear on for me, and
I mentioned HOK, its should be ok, but the over paint I usins im not sure,
Ill probably just have to try it.

As far as the CG and were the batterys are located, well theres not much more room to
center them up or move around, Iv done a few configuration's and placed everything in, an
threw it in the pool a couple of times, Iv got a set of Lipo mounts and straps coming in Douggie, so that should allow me to pull the batterys up a few inch's when everything is mounted, Iv not got the extra motor mount in yet to finish, So im waiting for it to come in as well.

As for the strut, Jeff. Yes, Iv bought thick 5/8 shrink wrap for the strut to drive.

(COLORED LOL)

Here's a few more pic's. I have the Rudder half way installed.

Oh and Douggie, did you see Jimmy's SS21, Look at were his battery and motor are placed,
there both similar.

Jeff, Im going to use the Shrink wrap when its going back together..

I just havn't done this yet because Im not finished painting.

Nate, you should have reinforced the transom, and that is a possible leak area.

Edit

You take great pictures...what camera etc

Douggie,

Yeah I was planing on using the sheet of carbon fiber in the rear,

I put it in the water when all the bolts were mounted and it did leak through,

so Ill fiberglass in the rear after painting tonight, My paint finally came as well as my k-tape Iv

been needing.

But anyways, Douggie explain the Bank your were talking about.

Here's the color...
