The 2mm or 2.5 should do you.That is usually how thick mine turns out.

BTW Good find.

Yet another rainy Saturday stuck in doors and unable to mount motor as the Heavy duty water cooled mount for Leopard 4074 / 4082 is for a v hull. The motor is about 10mm past bottom of mount. So will have to make mount extension at work or use some aluminum box cut to fit. I spent some time today looking at making decals on cheap transparent film to see what it would like here are some pic.

How did you mount the heavy duty motor mount to the boat? planning on getting the same motor. Epoxy?

Hi Big, I plan on using 4-6 drops of supper glue to hold it in place and running fiberglass Epoxy resent around all sides of the mount.

Where do I buy fibreglass epoxy at? How do measure were the mount sits?

[BoyZie]

You should be able to buy fibreglass epoxy at your local marine hardware store and they should be able to tell you the mix ratio.
Depending on your motor mount and collet you are using + the angle required to connect it all up, will depend on where the mount sits. I most likely will cut Stuffing Box and Flex shaft to suit as has done here.http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...queman-Edition

This will give more room under the Tupperware lid. About 20mm of the Flex shaft end will have to be resoldered to stop it coming apart. This will be my first time. Hope this help.

Hey Boyzie,if you want I can trace the rails on the build I'm doing for Jason so you can go off that.Mine has too much stuff in the hull and Jason's is empty.

[BoyZie]

That will be a big help srislash, the rails tracing will make it a lot easier when the CF get here.

[srislash]

I'll try to do it tomorrow and get them scanned for you.

Finally got time to finish my project. After connecting everything up it wont work esc beeps and a red light on esc flashes as esc flashes and beeps drive shaft twitches, there’s no rudder movement. It just beeps any idea’s as to what is wrong.

[srislash]

Try turning the TX on first,hold the throttle full,then plug in/turn on the ESC and wait for the beeps and let go of the throttle.Better yet,read the instructions on throttle calibration.And remember there is a set of beeps to save info.I had a heck of a time with mine in that regard.
