Here's a couple of pictures of the progress so far. I still have to gussie up the brackets (radius the corners and brush out the stainless plate) and adjust the connector rod a little. The major part, the fabrication of the brackets and the engineering of the connector rod are pretty well whipped. I used the Goldeneye steering kit, some 1/4" stainless plate and some heavy gauge sheet stainless both left over from a job of mine. I am more of a wood guy (carpenter by trade), so my metal working takes a little longer with the tools I have to work with. The 1/4" plate takes quite a bit of time to cut with a sawzall.

It points to a website with ALL of your photos. I think that is why it isn't working. Edited by Joe Kriz on 11/15/05 - 10:18 AM

Saturday was all for naught, the original design would work fine with both engines down, but tilting in all combinations was not possible. The hydraulic steering complicates the matter. Late Satuday was spent on redesign and relayout of the brackets. Soooo, Sunday was spent on refabrication, Monday morning was spent on the finish work. A fun project. Doug Vazquez

Member Personal Page Posts: 340 Comments: 3 Joined: 09/21/05	Ah hah! Thanks Joe, I will remember that. I was trying to save the space on the personal page for nice pictures-like when I actually get the boat in the water, with a nice background or with me or a friend holding a big salmon. I should have the new axles, brakes, and rollers on the trailer before the end of the week. Hopefully I can get some pictures uploaded to my personal page this Sunday. Thanks again for the help, Doug Vazquez

I would change if I were you, but then, that might just be me... Lots of other ways to do things. As Jeff mentioned above, you could make it an attachment.

This is off topic, but I will try attaching an image from my hard drive right now. Upon edit: I guess I still don't understand how to do that. Doug Edited by Doug V on 11/16/05 - 9:05 PM
