Thought i show you selfmade nose on the way. Fillings made, next little sanding.
this could be interesting.
what have you used for the filler mixture ?
have you tack welded any little bit of metal onto the case to get the filler to grip onto ?
keep the pics coming on this one
We have typically found that the stock nitro case handled better then an SST60 case on a v bottom, sometimes faster also depending on where the boat ran trim wise.
Make sure you get the cone shape right so it continues to feed the water pick ups.
Cheers,
this gearcase is supposed to be the bigfoot 2.42 20 inch mid
but I did not think the big gearcase had 4 water intakes ?
mine is the big one and only has 3 inlets per side
Yes its a bigfoot. I made that lower hole because i try to go without transom pickup. Will see if i can jack the motor high enough.
After one hour work😊
Nice work.
Thanks👍. Only paint missing.
Also going to make a ring between case and prop to cover the gap.
Looking very good. shape looks nice and no welding been needed !!!
hope this works out good for you. is this a very tough filler to sand down ?
for the prop there was a special omc thrust washer made for the silverstreak/srx props a long time ago that closed the gap a little bit and did not let
exhaust flare out too much over the blades.
I have a 13 3/4x 23 prop the same as that one. but I just have the thrust washer same as you.
