Look at the side and see if the tube angle is the
same as the collet angle. Adjust until it is.
Once you are happy with the shaft tube, clean it with
denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner.
Mix about 1/4 ounce of epoxy, and add filler (micro
balloons) to thicken to the consistency of toothpaste.
Use this mixture to secure the tube to the hull at the
front and rear of bulkhead 4, at the shaft support,
and inside the transom.
Work it under and around the tube.
Don’t glue it to the floor, as you may need to remove
it at some point.
Don’t get any resin inside the stuffing tube.
Make sure the cable still slides in the collet easily.
Let sit at least 3 hours.
Next, we will mount everything we need, to make
this boat go!
Trim Tabs
Mount your trim tabs to the transom so that they are
flush or just a hair up from the bottom.
Use the pre-drilled holes.
We like to use 6-32x1/2 bolts and blind nuts.
Use a grinder or disk sander to remove part of the
blind nut, so that it won’t interfere with the hull
bottom. This is only needed for the trim tabs, due to
their low mounting position.
Stinger Drive
Mount the stinger in the holes provided. Zipp 3401
shown.
Use 6-32 screws and blind nuts.
Adjust the drive so that the cable slides in with
absolutely zero drag. The alignment has to be
perfect.
