First look at the cutout and I thought "looks like a jet drive."
|
what is that material you glassed in to extend the pod for the arneson https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...f7&oe=5A4FBB6C

It's closed cell hi-density foam. Either 25 or 27 pound density. It's the desist they make for building transoms.

Getting the drive and all the bronze parts ready to go on the boat. After all are polished they will get a good coating of ceramic clear coat.

Getting My Drive On!
The drive and hydraulic cylinders are in place. Now for more glass work then re-mount them for operation. After everything is polished of course https://www.facebook.com/images/emoj...1/16/1f61c.png The trim cylinder had to be cut down 4" in the cylinder tube to get it low enough on the transom to be below the turbine exhaust and still get full articulation for trim. Fortunately the hydraulic cylinder is excessively long with a extended bump stop on the inside. This allowed me to remove the bump stop and cut the cylinder to the correct length without affecting the 4" stroke. https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...d1&oe=5A7C5F86 https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...dc&oe=5A6C8DCF https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...50&oe=5A7E9B4D https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...12&oe=5A65A1C8 https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...aa&oe=5A850551 https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...d6&oe=5A64EEDF https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...b5&oe=5A813275 https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...dc&oe=5A866917 |
The wiring harness is completed and made as simple as possible for all systems with Deutsh connectors at all the major components.
We are just about finished with all of the cockpit re-construction for the cooling fan cabinets and ventilation ducts. Should be finished with preliminary interior paint early next week. Below are pics of the low amperage distribution block and the dash with Boca Switches. All systems have been powered up and tested. https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net...55&oe=5ADFB88A https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net...bd&oe=5AF745CE I disassembled the trim cylinder and modified it with a magnet incerted in the piston to actuate the digital trim indicator and made a custom bracket out of a piece of pipe to mount the sensor. https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net...8a&oe=5AF60B66 Everything that bronze or aluminum has been polished and coated with a clear ceramic coating. https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net...91&oe=5AEA658A https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net...d8&oe=5AED2FD1 https://scontent-dft4-3.xx.fbcdn.net...ca&oe=5AB46215 |
