Ron stated that they will be welded. Sorry Ron, for butting in! :nicethread:

They had to shift gears and machine a special fitting. The thickness of the aeroquip one when turned down we felt was not strong enough. We came up with this and it also leaves plenty of clearance for the cavitation plate.
Well get more pics tomorrow when I pick them up.

Also had some custom motor/hatch decals made from Kinnetic Animation. Ryan did a great job. Motors not finished but here is a pic of the hatch.

Better get two more lowers done for spares.:cartman:

Do the pickups go to strainers? Or straight to the lower unit? I added these to the Cigarette and water pressure is 25 pounds, but they still pick up grass.

Jim
Currently no sea strainers. If all goes as expected and I have a bunch of water pressure I will be adding some. Taking this one step at a time to see what works, how each step affects outcome and what doesn't.
Trying to learn as much as I can about this. Uncharted territories!!!

Mine is headed off to Skaterland for new tanks. So while it is gone, I will be pestering you with questions about the testing.

I hope you know that nice flooring is toast.....

I took the motors off when I sent my 28 up for tanks. They said why did you do that? You did not have too. When I got it back I was finding new fiberglass shavings for months. So I think that's smart removing power.

Now Ron we want speed reports!!!

Another great father son project Ron.

Jim
You know we could have a lot of fun making some changes with you boat while it is up there $$$$$$$ :evilb:
Let's see how about some water ramps?????

Sam, can you believe work got in the way of running the boat today! Hoping to try again Sunday but weather down here is not looking good either :pray:

Great thought, I will have ramps installed while it is at Skater, along with a new rub rail.

Yes, speed reports, with prop references. And drive heights.
