[ATTACH=CONFIG]154166[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]154167[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]154168[/ATTACH]I got some 1/4 aluminum, marked the holes then drilled and tapped it before glueing in. I used a small amount of glue when glueing so I didn't get it near the threads, and used the bolts to glue into place to be sure everything lined up proper. That whole part of this build was a bit of a chore for me, but now it's done and I can move on.

It seems every build hits it's rough spot... I know the feeling!

Man that's a wicked looking turn fin.

yeah, and i am being rather anal about this part too. i wanted to make sure the mount is seated square to the bottom of the ride pad. i made sure to also drill out any mounting hole just a mm larger than the bolts holding them. a tiny bit can make all the difference when tuning it.

Yep, you need tweaking room! I found the turn fin to be the most sensitive and productive tuning, even more that the strut. The strut is pretty basic, prop shaft centerline at depth of back of sponsons. I always try to achieve a zero strut angle, that just seems to be a tweak trying to fix another weakness. Sure looks good, enjoy it!

How thick is the material for the turn fin mount?

The block inside? It's 1/4 thicknesses

No, I think he's talking about the angle bracket... it looked a little thin to me too...

It's a rudder bracket from speedmaster. I'll
Measure it later but it's not a flimsy piece

That is what I am referring to. Hard to tell if it's the .125" thick angle bracket or a thicker one.

Last night I got pool noodles in everywhere, then glued the deck on.


sorry for my lack of detail lately. all i did was get out the west systems, coat the area the deck was going on, then coat one side of the deck itself, then used weights, tape and clamps where i could to get it in places.

all set
