Got a lot done yesterday. Met up with the Engineering Dept to test fit both the 9 1/2’ motor and fin can.
The motor went in fine except the top 2’ started to bind on the fiberglassed stringers. After the usual amount of cussing and removal of the offending fiberglass the motor slides in and out with ease.
Sure is nice after all this work to have the motor fit in exactly as it should.
Note: If able it’s best to test fit these kinds of things in the comfort of your own garage. Don’t want to think about trying to get this motor to fit with 95 degree heat and a crowd around.
The Binder Design fin can fits like a glove. You’ve got to see this thing in person to appreciate the art and function put into this thing. It’s a one-of-a-kind fin can and it looks downright sexy!
Wish I had more pics. We were at the Engineering Depts beautiful home and am hoping he snagged more than what I posted.
