Thanks John, I know I'm a little OCD with how I approach everything. My wife reminds me everyday, LOL! I'm getting ready to mount the box in the boat. While I was replacing some of the long sheet metal screws, I noticed my strut was badly rusted out. My rudder has been missing the top...

Also, Daryl, do you know what flex shaft collet you have? Need a new one and can't find the threadings/info on this engine. Thanks again everyone for your help on this..

Well still getting things figured out. Gonna pick up some wood and work on the bulkheads. I noticed my strut is rusted out and mangled, so I'm going to go ahead and replace it too while I'm having to figure out how to mount a new rudder assy. I've been trying to find an extended rudder and...

Pics help alot, thank you very much. Wow your rudder is much further out. I'll have to think about how to extend it out, or look for a different bracket maybe. What's the tall bracket on the back for? Also how is your pipe supported? Do you have a mount for it?

Sounds like good solid advice there, so much appreciated. I'll plan on using plywood similar to the rails for front and back bulkheads. Should I be using resin/glass or epoxy for installing them? Should I be also installing a plywood bottom for the box to sit on, or just let the box sit on...

Wow Daryl that's super nice to hear you have the exact same setup. Guess I did good with my selections back in the day. As for my rudder, the one on it actually needs to be replaced as the top bushing is missing. I have a speedmaster rudder that I was planning on installing, but it has a...

yeah, the double sided tape was what I did way back when I was trying to get it running years back. Carried over from my rc car days. I know this isn't ideal, and know it needs to be changed. Either with some rails and/or platform, or some servo trays of some sort. I've seen a lot of pics...

Ok, so sounds like I got a good pipe. I'm pretty sure this engine was pretty high end back in the day. Hope it's still able to run. Thanks all for your help!

Totally agree Beau. T nuts, or lock nuts, will replace the screws. Good advice.

Thanks! I'm in St. Louis. Don't really know of any places to run this boat. I have a bass boat which I do some fishing here and there, so the plan is to take it with me on those trips, and play when the fish are all in my boat. Really looking forward to getting it going though. I've taken...

Hey All! Been reading your forums off and on over the years, and well it's time for me to get my feet wet again in this hobby after a 20 year break, due to college, job, kids, well you know, or some of you know. Anyways, I'm sure not that much has changed with this hobby...Yeah right. I used...
