Took delivery of the new 90 Aerormarine SprintCat today, CMB 1.0 Evo and Speedmaster hardware. Exciting stuff...
Just a few questions I have, hopefully someone has put one of these together and can help.
1. The Speedmaster combined rudder/water pick-up combo, though well engineered, looks to me marginal in water flow capacity for this size motor running a high nitro blend. Was thinking I would need to run an additional water pick-up on the transom. Ie use the rudder pick-up for header and an additional pick-up for motor. Agree or disagree?
2. Smaller radio box than what I was expecting. Haven't put together a boat before where I had to lay servos on their side. What's the best method of mounting them? I was thinking of fabricating an L shaped saddle from aluminium, but does anyone know of an outfit who sells them ready made, or is there a better method?
3 I purchased Octura 460/3 and 462/2, and Prather S-265 props to teeth on. Did I go too small?
4 No pipe mounting bracket came with the kit. Was thinking of fabricating an O ring brace to go on the stinger end and mount to transom with wire and a neat bracket. Does anyone know if these can be purchased ready made?
Cheers guys, any help be appreciated...
