Step 7, the outboard is mounted.

First I had to make the height adjustable mount for the outboard. the mount is made from 1mm aluminium plate, glued together with epoxy.









The outboard is mounted!







At the moment I'm busy with the electric wiring. Then the steering bar will follow and then the deck will be placed.

Mooi gelukt die ophanging Dirk Jan. Zo zie je maar, er leiden meer wegen naar Rome!

Gut gelungen die Motorbefestigung Dirk Jan. Es sind immer mehrere Lösungen möglich!

Ich finde das brettflache Deck der Speedliner Corsair oberscharf!
Das ist wirklich ein tolles Boot!

...und schön gebaut noch dazu...!

word een mooie boot

Step 8:

The motor cables are hidden under a cover plate that is screwed against the transom.



The steering bar for the outboard is also finished.







Here you can see the position of the speed controller, a little higher to protect it against water. Finally this speed controller will be switched for a Turnigy Marine 60A because this Plush 40A doesn't have enough capacity for this job.



Thanks to my colleague who made the steering pulleys and the steering drum.



The steering drum mounted:



Time for the deck!











Inspired by Lex I use a silicone kit layer underneath the latch.















Big paperclips will serve for the steering rope ends.







After some sanding, the deck fits tight! I really like the flat deck of the SpeedLiner Corsair.

Great progress and a neat piece of craftsmanship. I especially like your solution for the hatch.
Meanwhile I have the same outboard motor as you have. Will you stick with the original brushless outrunner or will you exchange it? I guess it turns a little too high for the potential use a 3S accu. If you find a good replacement pls. let me know.

Thank you Ulmo! You are right about the motor, so I already have another one laying ready: hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=30342

The drawback is the 4mm shaft, so you need to modify the original coupler, or change it with another one.

Ziet er heel mooi uit dirk jan

Groet jan

Regarding the coupling, I guess you can find someone with a lathe or a shop that sells 4mm/3.2m couplers.
Gundert might also have something. I down't know if a four cornered shaft can be mounted into a coupler with a round bore hole?! Gundcert sells clamping pieces (Klemmhülse) for 3.2 flex shafts. This way they can be used with a 4mm/4mm coupler as well.

Ulmo, if you order this SK3 2700KV Motor you get the same power, but with an 3,17 mm shaft, and a nice silver finish Simple switch with the standard motor. That is the one I ordered.
