I am a she :-) Gotcha! I'm a he as long as we're sharing. ;) My motor measures 22 in vertically from the bottom of the bracket to the cavitation plate. My transom is 19-7/8 in measured along the transom and ~19-1/4 in measured vertically. My Suzuki manual specifies the anti-cavitation plate should ...

I need to up my anchor game, I'm in the dark ages!

I was too cheap to spring for the hatch locks and I now have some hatch warping, so it was probably a bad place to save money.

Anyway, deck is looking great Cameron, keep up the excellent work!

Dang autocorrect!!! I have “ly” set to short cut for messages to the real boss. For some reason “only” tends to get forked up. It only happens when I’m trying to be serious though. That said… I’m leaving it because it’s hilarious. Especially in this context. Also… keep your bud. Mic ultra is my sod...

Apple remains the overlord that rules with an iron bar (that they regularly apply to the side of developers heads). That said, the rules are clear and I just have to conform. Once I’m a bit further along we can pseudo side load for limited beta testers. Very limited capacity for that though. As to ...

That's a lot more far along then I would have guessed based on your previous code "sample", nice work! Do you have to deploy apps via the iStore or can stuff be side-loaded th4ese days? I ha a brush with iOs apps about 10 years ago, and I think they all needed to go through the store, and ...

Hole-y cow, that's a lotta drilling! What size hole-saw do you need for the hatch lock recesses? Here's a random question: are you going to be able to close your anchor locker with a line coming out of it, like if you're anchoring in shallow water and most of the rode will be in the locker? I ended ...

Seems like my antique evinrude 35 was setup to kick up but my modern honda 20 hp is not, at least that I can determine through the manual etc. I would think kickup would be the best reaction to a submerged log. One advantage of the manual tilt models I'm familiar with is you can always unlock the t...

...how to figure the math on transom height. Glad you brought up the transom height issue, I was starting to wonder if people were tiring of it. To summarize my thoughts on it: he, the OP, and I both ended up with transoms that were a fair amount too short. Both were built to 20" for 20" ...

Designers put in large safety margins for this. In this particular case, no glass or tape is specified at all in the lamination schedule. It would seem that the deck-to-transom joint is either not intended to be structural, or else the plans are incomplete. But whatever the builder did there for gl...
