Re: SK14 in Cape Cod
a couple more questions!
what do most people do here, just glue up a thicker board to clamp to? or just use a spacer after the transom is finished? remove those and through bolt it? there are some holes on the back too that look like they are for a through bolt.
I totally forget i left my transom like an inch or so tall so i could cut it down to the proper height. the plate above the prop have to be level with the bottom of the boat ?
EH vermont is too cold for me. i would need too much bourbon to keep warm my sanding would be less then ideal

Re: SK14 in Cape Cod
It's a bidding war Come in summer. I have Fesstool sanders and will take you fishing afterwards
A spacer will work but a full width clamping board would be better. I never trust the clamps. I have had the motor work lose so I drill holes and bolt them on. It is not much more work for the security.

Here is what I did to both thicken up the transom and to keep the motor positioned properly:Fuzzytrout wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 3:26 pm ...what do most people do here, just glue up a thicker board to clamp to? or just use a spacer after the transom is finished? remove those and through bolt it? there are some holes on the back too that look like they are for a through bolt.

Re: SK14 in Cape Cod
OOOH I like it! I'll probably do something like that for the clamps, and then still use two through bolts in the lower holes from the rear of the engine.
I remember reading a couple builds on here that had cavitation issues.
so should this be level with the bottom of the hull? or just a tiny bit below?

Re: SK14 in Cape Cod
be careful what you wish for. I'd sand a hull for a shot at a big ole alaskan native rainbow, a steelhead, some salmon, a grayling, a halibut, just about anything. I need inspiration and photo references for paintings!Fuzz wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 4:37 pm It's a bidding war Come in summer. I have Fesstool sanders and will take you fishing afterwards
