Default Re: Seadog back on the water!

Briguy,

It's a 20' and let me say I'm thrilled with having a B-Bracket on the boat, the versiatility it provides is fanatastic. But the B-Bracket's floatation is just barely adequate. With the new motor's added weight and distance aft, I've added an extra 1" of draught. And I did have to add a wedge, which I fabricated out of starboard, to the bottom of the floatation chamber to eliminate the motor being drowned while coming up on plane(all things seems fine once on plane). I talked to the guys from B-Bracket about my problem, but they seemed clueless about my situation, so I designed my solution on my own, and I got lucky on my first try. I'll send pics when I can.

Capt Brad,

Wiring jobs can be big, or small, pretty, or ugly, all depending on your tools, supplies, and patients. I'm very busy for the next 3 weeks, but a road trip after that could include a "snake", "T-strippers", crimpers, and heat shrink. Keep me posted if help is needed, it well cost you a few beers and a boat ride.

Lloyd
