Hi Carl, she is certainty coming along, I hope to take her out this summer. Here is the list I published on Oct 14, 2018. Items in green were completed by 5/11/19. Items in blue were completed by 12/1/19. Now I JUST need to: 1. Re-align the coupler to the shaft, oh Joy! 2. Wire it up properly and ne...

Carl - Your shop is looking nice and tidy; I may need to clean up my shop of these days too :D I'm not sure if anyone has said this but another way to get the plugs out of the substrate: Once you drill a bunch of plugs, cover them with blue tape and re-saw them on the bandsaw, then pull the tape off...

Jamie that looks so damn good. The upholstered side boards really give it a finished and professional look. Did you plan to do them from the beginning? I can sometimes get caught up in too many what-if scenarios and worry about the consequences in decisions early on that can have down stream effects...

I made a new bracket out of steel ($2 at the scrap yard). I will wait to drill the holes for the bearing until I mock it up with the rudder.

I also found an exact replacement bearing (Sealmaster SF-16) on Ebay for $35, they really do have everything.

I made a new bracket for the rudder today. Fun little project. I did most of it on the table saw. I used the tennoning jig to cut the shoulders. I then cleaned up the shoulders with a shoulder plane that I don't get to use much either. The angle is 20 degrees to correct for the tilt of the transom. ...

I believe the rudder is supposed to be bent like that to allow you to remove the propshaft without having to pull the rudder. Ryan - I had not thought of that. I took it down to a marine machine shop to straighten it out and also machine a keyway that should have been there for the tiller arm. If I...

Seems like there is some good info here
Looks like they recommend the corkscrew method and about 2 to 4 layers

Also here on Glen-L Forum

Is this the Gore-Tex stuff you were talking about Bill?

The stuffing box on the Glen-L site says that the stuffing can be replaced without taking off the tiller arm. Mine looks the same as this one. I was wondering how the heck to do that...YouTube to the rescue: Here is a really helpful video on how to replace the rudder packing. After watching the vide...

I know nothing about rudders or rudder stuffing boxes which is probably why I waited until now to mess with it. I was going to ignore it :D but since its a potential place for water to come in I thought I better dig into it so I pulled it all apart today as a exploratory and learning exercise. Some ...

I ran all the wiring aft this weekend (blower, Aux USB Charger, anchor light). I also wired up the MOB device and ran wires up front for the navigation lights (have not cut the hole in the deck yet) I also installed the LED light strips that run under the covering boards and under the dash I used th...

I got the MOB wired up yesterday. It seems really well made and so far I really like it. Here are my observations I was able to pair the Fob really easily: Hold button on MOB unit until it flashes blue Then hold button ob FOB and then the MOB turns green I now get one nice audible beep when the igni...

Carl I'm glad that you got the router table! Way safer and easier than trying to balance a router on that piece. You may even consider adding a table extension to it.

Is that the offset piece in the pic or the "regular" one?

The cabinet looks great!

Isn't it nice to build something that does not need to be epoxy encapsulated

Jamie, the Boat is looking great again!

I like your lift system, do you have any pics and details about how you mounted your lifting eyes in the boat?
