Vs1 tunnel

[pescador]

On mine I made cardboard templates to figure out the sides then cut them out of hobby plywood. Then some pieces of basswood to reinforce the corners and make a lip for the lid. You can just copy the way the original servo box is constructed.

Hey what did you use to enclose where the battery goes?

3/32" Birch plywood [Midwest brand] from LHS. Rather than piece together the sides I just made a template for a once-piece side cover. (notch in back 'cause transom inset, hole is to hang it up )

I don't do anything to seal batteries, let um get wet. I use to, but not any more, on my Dumas Sprint despite my efforts to seal the electronics the first time I flipped the boat the compartments flooded, I dried it up no ill effects every thing worked fine minuets later. Second time I flipped it my sealing job only worked a little better but still took on h2o, dried it up no ill effects back on the water in minuets. I gave up trying to seal all my water proof gear. That boat has been upside down half a dozen time so far no ill effects on the un protected gear. Funny but when my Sprint is upside down it floats low enough that the prop is still in contact with the water, I can drive it back to shore upside down with all electronics totally flooded, under water lol. I know eventually I'll have to replace A water damaged part, till that happens don't care. Haven't flipped the new VS1 yet but I'll try.

The bulkhead fittings and water exits are from right here at the Offshore store.
