Bulletproof "Quick-Change" 4" rail motor mount

[CornelP]

Do you have a photo of the piece (on the hull) that the mount attaches to ?

Unfortunately no, but it's just a strip of 2.5mm carbon with three 3mm blind nuts underneath... I made an older one in 4mm aluminum, directly threaded. Carbon is easier to glue in place... :p

Lenny, I have a drawing for a watercooled one, but never fabricated it yet.
Early next year I should have some of these in carbon, one piece. If it turns out ok, I'll ship a couple over the pond...

Hey,
How did you every make out with the water cooled motor mount ?
I am still looking for something.

Thanks for any info.

Lenny,

I recently wanted to figure out how to convert an installed, non cooled mount to a watercooled one. I thought of this, where the cooling block is sandwiched between the motor and the existing mount - the mounting holes line everything up using longer than normal screws:

Or use the center piece from one of these : (maybe narrowed)

Just thinkin'.....

Thanks Tony,
I am looking for something universal for different motor sizes to.
I will probably need to mod or make my own.
