    It looks like my thermal switches are arriving today. I might have to make a trip to the motorcycle store and see if they make a nice LED flush mount turn signal that looks like a hood scoop

    nice build rear... never have figured why aeromarine made the deck come down so low as to not let a rudder or strut fit flat but you did a great job fixing that for sure

    I thought these LED license plate illuminators were were a good choice for the high temp light. They were brighter than the red . I suppose they could be used for night running too

    I don't think the pump "gets back" any power. Then again it could... They work great as long as you take there of them. I ran mine in salt and forgot to clean it after....

    I hope the pump idea works well! Kintec has a new $55 pump, there are some on Ebay that look just like it though for less $...

    Enough of that! This build is looking good so far!

    My pump cost me $20 from swap shop . My local dealer sells them for $28 and they have several others to chose from for less $. it works perfect with the check valves when I did my test.

    I made this plumbing block for my inlets. It has the pump pick up built in. I still need to add the finishing touches but this is the design I'm going with.

    Installed the thermal sencer . Dremeled down to the special copper compound core for the best heat reading I can get. Notched the 4 corners of the esc's plastic lower to hold the zip tie in place wich holds the switch in place. I will ad some thermal grease between the switch and core later on.

    Rubber mounted the lights with nylon washers. Bought a couple 3/16" rivets for the water outlets. Turned on the lights and they are pretty intense ! Very confident I will see them during the day !

    I felt it was time to make things permanent . JB welded the unit in and two water outlets.

    They are 2.5 lb weights . There are pool noodles on the bottom between the sponsons under the motor area , the added weight made the JB push out the edges more uniformly .

    I thought they are some kind of compressed air cylinders for cooling in addition to your pump. . Your build is full of innovative ideas! Looking good!

    Why not just bolt the whole unit in from the bottom? that way it would have been removable for maintainance?
