Now add lots of filler to the rest of
the mixed epoxy.
Put the filled epoxy over the Prop
Shaft Assembly where it comes
through the Hull.
Push the epoxy under the Prop
Shaft Assembly to eliminate any
air bubbles under it.
Just enough to encircle the bearing
and fill the narrow gap between the
bearing and the Hull Liner.
Mix a smaller batch of filled epoxy.
Carefully apply a layer around the
rudder bearing & put the rest over
the Prop Shaft Assembly as shown.
Once the epoxy cures, carefully
slide off the motor and Alignment
Clip. Sand the bottom and bottom
edges of the Motor Mount.
Mix the last batch of filled epoxy.
Make sure the third layer is still
lower than the top of the bearing.
Put filled epoxy into the liner where
the Motor will sit. If the Servo Tray
is in your way, remove it.
Put epoxy on the bottom of the
Motor Mount.
