Just installed motor took a while getting it lined up in hull . I worked 40 years as a electrical maintains man & lined up tonnes of motors but lining up a tiny motor in a model boat is a real pain . If you see the nickel it's just something I do the nickel has the year model built .I used to put a penny's in but Canada no longer uses penny's . I think it was a tradition that real boat builders put a penny under the main mast for good luck .
