Outboard Cowl cover

[Hp88]

Have been working on a twin brushless outboard cat project and needed some scale cowl covers to give this hull the right look. I came across a boat hull builder Evolution Rc , http://evorc.com.au/ they made me a cowl that would suit my 3.5 K&B outboard. This cowl started as a hand carved plug that was used to make the moulds. As you can see from the pics they did a great job to not only make the shape right but also to make it functional with the air vents.




Moulds made from plug



First test cowl out of the mould with air vents cut out

Having a test look at the one of the complet outboard on the hull, will have decals made for the outboards

They look absolutely amazing!!, How much did they cost you and would you be willing to sell a pair?

Hey HP88, what paint did you use, to paint the outboard?

I used an etching primer for aluminium, then top coated with enamel black and a few coats of clear.

I'm assuming they would be to small for a K&B 7.5?

It really depends on the size of the brushless motor mount for the 7.5 and how scale you want it to look. The 7.5 is about 40 mm longer then the 3.5 , so you will have more of the outboard leg protruding in front of the cowl.
