Duffy…. Great looking out. Thank you. The pattern I laid was perfect as it squeezed out into the bracket all over the wrench and out between the bracket and transom. Cleaned it up with some rags and acetone for a pro finish. I’ll give it a few more days. No rush as I have a lot to do still. Thank you!

Give the 5200 3 days minimum. It won't be ready in 2 days. I just 5200 my cap on and started messing with after two days and it was not cured. Read the instructions after I used it, and sure enough, 72 hours minimum.  Was almost a big mistake. don't want to see anyone make it if possible.

Not a lot to take pictures of right now. Fairing the hull. Never done this before so very much a crap shoot. Using polyester glazing putty from ever coat. This stuff goes off in like 3 minutes. Not much time to work. To make up for that, though, it does create almost infinite sanding opportunities.

There is a sizeable depression, +/- an 1/8 inch, on the starboard cap from an old repair that I repaired again. Is that too much filler?

Challenging for sure but uneventful.
Then again I have had over a decade to think this through and I have spent many a cumulative hour planning for this moment. The bracket is on, bolted and sealed. Definitely a 2 person job as you need someone to assist in the mount as well as hold the wrench inside the bracket. It looks so bad ass!!!!

I used this do dad to get the holes square




Holes drilled




Bracket staged with the bolts through




5200 patterned to smush down but not directly on the bolts just yet. Trying to stay clean as long as possible before this hellish stuff gets everywhere



Great success. I am so excited and relieved. I’m going to give the 5200 2 days to set before I hang the motor

Thank you Rick! Hell of a good day!

I think that’s shiny enough for my standards.
100, 180, 220, wet 600, wet 1000, wet 1500 and then compound buffer. I’ll take it!

Powerhead on and bolted down.
Final rigging and fuel lines connected. Ethanol free gas mixed with oil. She is ready to test fire in the morning. I’ve decided to run it and see what happens. I’m going to have to commit to running her once a month from now until launch as I do not want to mothball this motor after all the work.

Was thinking the same.  Pretty minimal investment and could be somewhat adjustable!
