By the way I forgot to tell you if you want your push rod for the rudder to be SS go to a bike shop and buy SS spokes it should be th same size as the stock one the threads match just bend and cut much stronger too.

I m getting ready to take out the flex shaft on my sv 27 for the first time & re lube it & i have a couple of ?'s. There is only about 1mm - 2mm of spacing between the stuffing tube & collet . Is it okay to cut a liitle of the stuffing tube so it will be eaiser to re-insert the flex shaft back into the collet ?.
I don't see why not. If you haven't already got everything centered you should be ok. I changed my motor mount so i didn't have to deal with those small nuts too much work when your all ways tuning your boat.
I'm not running water through it as it was a little restricted.
But the mount works great with out it.
Sorry forgot to tell you only lube cable at strut end not the cable end causes a lot of drag. I had to put a drop of CA on strut bushing just at the end keeps the bushing from spinning in stuffing tube only takes a drop and lube the part that has the holes in it works great and low drag. Also remove blue stinger first you don't want any glue on there.
You want to lube the entire shaft on these. The lube not only lubricates the shaft, stuffing tube. But it also acts as a barrier to prevent water intrusion up the tube shaft. Not to mention, it minimizes rust. The amount of drag lube causes is negligible.
Dragboat Boat did some tests a while back on various lubes.

Well the mantanice has been done & i installed a cf 45 prop. I just ran the boat with the new prop the temp went up . After a full pack my motor was 145 at the endbell & 115 on the motor jacket & the lipo's were 108 . Is that still okay ?.

well your temps are ok, but when I run a CF45 and CF48 my motor temps only get to 105* and 115*, esc is 95* and batteries are 90-95*

Hi try moving you batteries back a little that may help. What has your COG?
I use just a standard transom pickup found here on ose for my motor
I did slide my lipo's farther foward than i normally do . so i will move them back a little & try again . If that does not bring the temps down. then i will install the trim tab water pick up i have have & then try again. thank's for the help.
I think I run my batteries about 2"- 2 1/2" forward of the motor mount..

Whats up Mike, small world to see you here too ?

I'm going to convert my 48" or buy my buddy's 40" to build but thinking of another SuperVee myself to play with in the mean time during assembly ?
Where do you run yours at in Largo ?

If weather permits Your more than welcome to join us Sunday ? There was about 15+ guys out at our little lake last Sunday and had a great time. One of the fellas has a Kayak and we set up markers. I should be receiveing my Vee Friday,anxious.
When I had my last Vee I didn't hang out with anyone whom ran boats, now theres a bunch of guys so it should be more fun this time around.
You have my #, gimme a call if interested
As i stated before i went to a cf45 prop with the enlarged stock rudder pick up & the temps were 115 on the water jacket & 145 on the open endbell & 108 on the lipo's . I then tried the trim tab pick up only & the temp's stayed the same . Today i used both pick up's together & the temps stayed the same . The lipo's are about 1 3/4 inches past the motor mount . Any idea's ?. I was thinking i may go back to the stock prop as the speed seems the same with this prop . But the boat gets on a plan quicker with the cf 45 prop . This temps are after appromimently a 8 - 10 min run.
My boat ran like that also. My favorite prop is GrimRacer 40/52X3 runs cooler and very fast 39.4 mph
also try running your lipos farther back till it gets loose then move them back alittle post some more pics.
