Good to hear a nice report. What was the kicker you got ?
How's this one Mac
Small world again Jethro! Your boat was made just up the road from me about 15 minutes away. I probably know some of the people that built it!
Great work on everything Geoff.I would worry about attaching that steering rod to the fiberglass cowl of the big motor however. I would be worried it will crack and those cowls are not cheap.
At the mouth of the river at Sebago in the Spring, it's East to West unless you want a beating from the rest!
Yep, I know I'm taking a chance but determined it was worth the risk. Did not fell comfortable drilling into the bracket shoulder of the main itself. I bonded an aluminum plate for blocking on the backside of the cowl, I think I did the best I could for keeping the fiberglass in one piece.
The first version was not good. Used two of the bars and connected them. Was unable to trim either motor without binding and the motor would turn one way fine, but the other was super stiff. Really not smooth at all. So over the weekend I decided that risking the cowling was worth the risk. I epoxied a big piece of aluminum flatstock to the inside surface of the cowl.
