Thanks for the replies. The build has been very gratifying wasn't sure it would turn out this well.

Put numbers into a hat as I think all of them would be a good boat for the stern drive. Option two would be to order 3 more stern drives. LOL

I have three at the moment that I could choose from, there is a 31" Huntsman hull but has no superstructure, thisis how I bought it from Anglia Model Shop, sadly now shut down. Then I have a Stratos Interceptor that I got back in the 1990's. Also a 31" MFA Spearfish. All three have not been started. Then I also have a Aerokit's Sea Commander and an Aerokit's Sea Queen, this one I'm tempted to put my old Taycol Supermarine Double Special. So I have quite a choice. I am sure it would be far too big for my Aerokit's Sea Hornet. Such a brain teaser. I even have a Norstar Sea Rider. Decisions, Decisions.

Good to hear you purchased the Z drive. Looking to find a boat to install the unit in will be fun.Your design skills will come into play in choosing a boat. ๐๐๐๐๐

She's looking good, I finally bit the bullit and ordered the Z Drive and a second prop, the 33m one slightly larger than the one it says is on it in the spec list and also a syringe of thier gear grease. I paid him with a bank balance and it was posted the next day (yesterday). I am now eagerly awaiting its arival. I cannot wait to see yours perform on the water. I still have to decide which boat to put it onto.

Hi Rick,
I find when finishing it's hardest to achieve the desired result, some imperfection aways pops up๐ Trev ▲

Rick,
The submarine guys( I am one as well) will often silicon the bellows to the bellows mount, ie, tube. it is important to make sure that the inside of the bellows is clean, I use acetone or alcohol depending upon the bellows material, and lightly scuff up the tube the bellows will mount upon. As well it is important to wipe the tube down with cleaner after scuffing it. With the silicon in place, asfter a good 24-48 hour cure, the bellows will be securely fastened. No clamp to distort the diameter of the bellows. If you were to leave a hint of room between the bulkhead and the bellows when you install the bellows, you can slide a dental pick in and under the bellows to break the silicon seal, if and when you need to remove or replace it. Last benefit is a reall y neat tidy looking installation. ▲

That's a novel idea, I use a small washer fitted over bellows before it's pushed onto the tube.
Cheers Colin. ▲

The bellows fit snugly over the brass tubes the clips will be to keep them there. If need be can make two clips for each bellows to make up the gap.

I'm not sure about those clip's they don't go all the way around the bellows. Will they be secure enough to stop any water getting in? Small cable ties would secure the full diameter of th bellows.

So right with your thinking to use ties as that is what I planed to do. I'm looking forward to see her preform also. This project is turning out to be very satisfying in development and build. Support from members their comments and thumbs up help in the build.

I would put some silicone grease in the bellows and then put small cable ties ower the bellows when fitted onto the brass tubes in the transom. I love the look of this. I am realy waiting to see her perform on the water. I am seriously tempted to get one of those outdrives.

Looking good Rick. You too are coming through with solutions for your project which began as a thought several months ago. Hopefully we will meet up this year and sail our creations together.
