Today it’s time to start again on “Double Trouble”

I have finally managed to source the correct universal joint couplings (5mm x 4mm) to connect the new brushless motors to the propshafts.  No doubt they will take a few weeks to arrive from downtown China so in the meantime I’ll remove all the watercooling pickups & outlets that were fitted to cool the brushed motors that were fitted when the Outboards were first removed.

                      

The brushless ESC’s are aircooled (fan assisted) and the motors are so oversized that they barely get warm so no additional cooling is required.

Inlet & outlet pipes have been removed so next job is to fibreglass all the holes then the bottom of the hull & the rudders can be painted.

Also need to manufacture a timber stand for storage & display purposes.
