Boat Design Engine Placement

TopSpin80 · 10-09-2003, 06:00 PM

Mercury already has the engine/drive demensions programed into a CAD file so they can be easily integrated into the design of a hull. I am working on a design project right now and does anyone know where I can get the CAD files? If someone has them in a format compatable with AutoCad or any Linux based CAD it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty good with CAD and if I had the right engine dimensions I think I could design a really good boat. The only dimensions I have to go by now are the ones I have taken off of one of my motors, but it is very hard to get any decent tolerances with a tape measure.

Do you want DXF or IGES? Side rear and top?

I would settle for anything.. I have Autocad 2000, r-13, and r-14.... right now, but can get access to about anything at school. do you have anything that will open in autocad?... all views if your willing.

If anybody would be willing to share those files with me, I too would be game. dxf or dwg would be grand!

One of the drawings I have is a symbol. Do you need to change the motor a all?
