More of a tight fit

This evening I drilled the mounting holes for the shaft support plates of the arneson drives. This was fairly straight forward however the rear mounting holes are so close to the the aft of the hull that the nuts for the two rear most bolts don't sit flat so I need to come up with a solution here.



I also started tapeing off the cutout for the water intakes based on a distance of 30mm from the transom of the sponson and 7mm from the inside of the sponson. (picture borrowed from www.rc-silverboats.de)



But I am not mounting the same kind of system so I am probably going to move it a little further from the inside of the sponson by maybe 2mm. The picture below is what it looks like without the additional 2mm adjustment.


I will save this task for tomorrow.
