Anyone ever installed there own nose cone

[84 centurion]

Thinking about buying a bobs nose cone/low water pickup to put on my 40hp evenrude. Has anyone done this themselves? And if so how hard and skill level/ tools needed. Or would it be easier to just send off or buy one already done?

i've done it many times. on a nitro foot you should shorten the cone for best fit. my self i bond the cone on then have it tack welded , so i don't have to hope the welder gets it on right.

I'm new to this so I don't guess I understand by what you mean shorten the cone? How hard is it to get it all straight? I have searched ever where to see what people are doing to to get theirs straight, and what they are doing to cover up the water pickup. Thanks levi

did have some shots up hear once upon a time. did notice some pics have disappeared over time thinkin it was the format or some thing i used back then. i measure from the back of the bullet to the tip of the cone on each side. look around hear for Super Nitro foot , maybe some thing will come up
