    Genesis 9000 problem
    Mornin' Peter, First I have to admit that fast electrics / power boats are not my forte. However ๐Ÿ˜‰ The foam I would think is part of the last ditch emergency
    flotation device
    . If the boat springs a leak it should at least hold the bow up so that the boat is not a total loss. Therefore I would try to rearrange it but not reduce it. The rudder is intended to swing up fairly easily in case you run over something at high speed. It's supposed to swing up on contact so preventing it from ripping out and possibly taking the stern out with it; glug glug glug ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ญ If you feel it moves too easily, i.e. during normal running, then tighten the nyloc nut a little. Don't overdo it or you might prevent it from doing it's job! Hope this makes sense ๐Ÿ˜‰ Sok szerencsรฉt a kรถvetkezล‘ teszt!๐Ÿ‘ Cheers, Doug ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Take it you are going to use a
    flotation device
    Martin - as my son once said after we had eaten a Red Roman (fish not a Communist) - the bare bones still on the serving dish - "That fish wont be able swim now will it daddy..........." You really do have a very creative mind - pills or not...... Always a pleasure to watch

    Pool Noodles are the foam insulation for pipes, used as
    flotation device
    s. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_noodle They can be used as fenders for large model boats, and look very similar to the inflated tubes in an RIB, so they can be used to make RIB hulls. But joining them and shaping them is often a problem...
