Well Today I acomplished somthing that I have been nervous about for awhile .I finnally set the intake.
I think that all My butterflies were for Not,It really was'nt that hard.
After measuring and remeasuring,I laid out the keel center line,width of the hole,and length of the hole. I had to flip the boat back right side up due to My flipping method. About two weeks ago, I cut out the hole and had to do a bit of grinding on the inside to get the intake depth right.
Any way,Today I reccheked all the settings,mixed up the epoxy and set the intake.I was worried that the epoxy was going to kick real quick,but every thing went smooth.
The hardest thing was checking and rechecking all the settings , to make sure nothing had moved,especially the centerline settings.
I want to thank Jack McClure(MPD).I talked to Him extensivly about setting the intake and He explained it step by step,over the phone and even e-mailed Me pictures and diagrams,showing the proccess.
All and all It was a great learning experiance and a major step foreward towards getting the boat finnished. I will post up some pics of the project soon...Hal
Congrates, now that you set one the next one will be alot easier.
What? No pictures?
i agree, a few pics would be helpfull.......:idea:
Damn Give a Fella a chance! I hav'nt even finnished washing the epoxy off my hand's when i posted this
Personally I like to re-distribute my epoxy and fiberglass resin to my keyboard. It gives it character.
Must've been pretty messy, he's still cleaning up?
