It's been awhile Andrew, lets see some pics of " Snowball "

It's been awhile Andrew, lets see some pics of " Snowball "

Over the weekend I wired the trailer, Installed the lights and went through the wheel bearings.

On the boat I had to use the router to recess my rudder stuffing box. Tonight I will drill the bolt holes and taper the bottom bolts. Tomorrow sea going epoxy comes in. I really am stumped until I get the rudder from J.J.

One the rudder comes in, everything else will get moving.

 

[Marko]

Lookin good ! Man you're really given it the treatment! :thumbsup

 

[rivergames]

I've got some good pics for you marko, I load them up in a bit.

I made the rudder brace last night and will be installing the pulleys tonight :champagne:

 

[rivergames]

The steering pulleys have once again been a pain in my ass. I needed to have the assembly be as close to the transom as possible. The rudder shaft is a bit short so the tension pulley is just about slammed on the floor on the outside stringer.

Last night I worked on a bracket for one of the pulleys that I had to junk. I am trying to design a better idea.

I made the rudder support bracket and mounted the bearing. I cant install the rudder stuffing box until I route the bottom for the blast plate. I cant route the bottom for the blast plate until I get the strut installed.

I drilled some holes in the rudder support bracket for looks. I did not get a shot of it. When I get the pulleys on, I will post some updated pics of the bracket

 

[steveo143]

I see you got the rudder, did you get the strut also?

 

[rivergames]

I got the rudder from Bill Dunsmore from Nevada.

I talked to JJ last week. He said the strut and turn fin will be shipped to me this week :thumbsup

 

[steveo143]

Good lookin' rudder.

 

[rivergames]

Good lookin' rudder.

Thanks. He built three of the them. This was the last one on the shelf. I was lucky to find it :champagne:

What is tieing this cross bar to the verticals?

RD

 

[rivergames]

Steering is done! Strut should hopefully be in tomorrow just in time for this weekend!!!

I still need to trim the brackets to make it look good, but for the mechanical aspect of it is complete :champagne:

That is as close as I could get the steering without hitting the transom. I gotta say, I got pretty fuckin lucky with how everything came together. Though I did have to make the tension bracket 3 times before I got it right

 

[rivergames]

What is tieing this cross bar to the verticals?

RD

I will install a piece of L-Metal on each side.It will almost give the bar a floating appearance. You will only see 2 bolt holes on each end of the cross support

I cant epoxy the rudder stuffing box in until I router the bottom for a blast plate. Once the rudder stuffing box is in for good, I will be able to drill and mount the supports

 

[RyanPartridge]

That is as close as I could get the steering without hitting the transom.

It looks like your rudder quadrant is turned around facing the transom. Maybe that's why it seemed like you were cuttin' it close? Not sure if that makes sense, I just don't recall seeing a quadrant set up facing that direction. I'm not sure if it matters...

Does not matter which way the quadrant faces. Just have to make sure the cables are on the right pulley so when you turn to the right, the boat moves to the right instead of the left

The port side pulley that has the cable doing 180* is about 1/4" off the transom and keeps the cable 1/4" from hitting the quadrant. Almost to close for comfort, but fits just right arty2:

 

[rivergames]

Look what arrived an hour ago :champagne:

Thanks JJ!

Stainless drop through strut for 1-1/8" prop shaft

Stainless drop through turn fin

 

[rivergames]

Well a week ago, I drilled the whole for my drop through strut. I took a laser and eyeballed it down the keel. Drilled two pilot holes on each end of the location of the strut. Then bored those holes out to 1/2". Once I had two holes established, I marked off the area I needed routered. Anyways, I just routered that her real slow and kept my eye on the marks. I used a file at the end to really fit the strut. Summa bitch is tighter than my first girlfriend.

lotttta work man u gonna have it on the water b4 summers overrr

Yup, I have a batch of steering parts ready to be polished and anodized.

I just need to get the strut clamp made. Once that is done, I can get the v-drive, trans, and motor mounts mocked up.

I can plumbed and wired in about 3 days.

My goal is June. But she sure as shit is a ton of work

Hey RiverGames your knocking the crap outta that thing, nice work, but if I remember correctly your blue flat you did was now joke either. Keep pressing on there and it will be so nice when it's done and the best thing is when somebody comments on it you can tell them YOU did it!! Looking forward to seeing it floating all done up:thumbsup:thumbsup.

Thanks bud:thumbsup I love rigging boats. Even though at times I am ready to get the skill saw out and chop them up...

I miss the blue flat, but there will be many more to come.

I have been switching off between the schiada and the crackerbox. I need to get the cracker done in time for out race next month. arty2:

steveo143 just sent me some billet porn. He made this one piece strut clam shell. Plus he bent and cut me a stainless blast plate....I am more than stoked on these partsarty2::champagne::thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

How does this piece work?

[rivergames]

Well my outdrive loving friend,,,,

Start by sliding the drop through strut through the bottom of the boat.

Insert the slotted end of the clam shell over the top of the strut plate.

There are holes that will be drilled through the side of the strut to secure it in the clam shell.

If you looks at the top view of the clam shell, you can see there are 5 holes on each side.

Once everything is lined up, I will drill through the bottom of the boat and through bolt it in.

I will also add a brace running from each stringer to the clam shell for durability.

Most people use a 2 piece clam shell to hold the strut in. We went with a 1 piece arty2:

 

[rivergames]

I just got ass raped with no lube.

Pretty much, I could not find a matching sea strainer to the one I previously had. So i just ordered 2 brand new Teague Strainers. I gotta admit though, their customer service kicks ass and I know I will be more than happy with their product. :thumbsup

I have a bunch of parts getting anodized as we speak. I could not wait any longer

I will be routing and installing the blast plate this weekend. Once I get the blast plate on, I am going to install my rudder stuffing box and cavitation plates.

After the schiada regatta, I realized my boat is taking way to fucking long. I am about to kick some ass and get this mofo done!:smackbum::fingers:arty2:arty:

 

[rivergames]

New sea strainers,,,,just picture a anodized red top instead of the blue

 

[RyanPartridge]

Keep up the good work.:thumbsup:thumbsup

Looking good so far:thumbsup

 

[steveo143]

Did you get anything done this weekend?

 

[rivergames]

Did you get anything done this weekend?

Routing the bottom of the boat to accept the blast plate is my least enjoyable task so far.

We ended up getting the crackerbox back together and running on Saturday. Yesterday I came in after mothers day lunch and routed the bottom for the blast plate. There are a few spots on the keel that I need to hit with my disk sander. Hows was CFW?

 

[steveo143]

Weather sucked most of yesterday but is supposed to be great the rest of the week. Nothing worse than looking up at snowing fiberglass dust!

 

[Marko]

Looking Good! Dont forget the cup holders!:thumbsup

I was wearing safety glasses, but I wish I had goggles. I am still pulling little balls of glass out of the inside of my eyes :grumble:

I picked up 2 cup holders last week. arty2:

I am going to make a new cover for my v-drive so I will make sure to include those :thumbsup

 

[rivergames]

Did I mention how much I hate routering fiberglass upside down?

New Blast Plate made my Steve Peterson (Steveo143)

And my digital camera decided to stop working last night. So I don't know how many pictures I will be able to take anymore :grumble:

 

[Wonsley66]

Very nice work Andrew:thumbsup. How thick was the bottom of the boat before you had KMG do all the work on it?

Thanks Bud...I believe it is around 5/8".
