    spacer

    [QUOTE=Scott T;155492]I decided to do a wet well as I've never set up an SD before, so wanted some adjustability with my strut. I'd done this before using a wooden box in my DF33, but followed the lead of others by using a large diameter brass tube this time. The driveline was set up with the motor in place and the strut about where I thought it should be. The stuffing tube was cut and bent, then the well cut to about the length I wanted. It was simply a case of putting it all in place and plugging the end end of the well with a shaped piece of plywood (already sealed). Then epoxying in the well for good.

    no 6mm spacer this time between the transon and strut bracket ??
    what about soldering the brass tubes as opposed to plywood and glue, in the well??

      JOhn,

      Shouldn't you be building a couple of Storms instead of surfing the net??

      Seaducer set up instructions put the prop right where mine is, so no need for a spacer on this one.

      The ply was handy, didn't have any brass sheet to solder in there, and the gap was too big for just solder. It's worked well.

      You'll be happy to know I've moved a couple of things since these photos, so my wiring is now neater, and I trimmed those screws for ya!

        It sure did look good on the water Scotty, and the newest member of our fan club certainly enjoyed watching it go, as you probably heard from his cheering and clapping lol.
