- I hand made this pod out of 18mm marine ply. then adding fibreglass and filling compound. once to shape. rolled 8 coats of gelcoat then refinished to 2000 grit paper and polished for a mirror finish.
this can handle single or twin outboard and will also have a bathing platform.
So greatful this video answered all my questions about my inboard to outboard conversion. Have you any drawings
Great job man, it looks solid!
Thank you
Nice job!
Nice Job! Looks Strong.
Bomb proof build
Did you use use the hull bottom running surface to match your bracket angles ? Will it be more of a hull extension which extends the boats effective length vs adding setback? Looking to make this but didn’t wNt to glass it to hull
Hello. This is bolted to the back 50mm above the keel height with a slight taper angle on the bottom surfance as well.
Puedes mostrar las medidas y los ángulos please
verry nice! doe you have te exact messurements?? can't really see it in the video
In every corner or “90 degree” like what you see on the inside braces, do you fill those corners with a small radius of epoxy filler or do you just shove the fiberglass in there?
Curves give more strength than right angles. And i would personally never use epoxy especially when building something out of polyester as it will not chemically bond.
@@sovereign_skipper Ah I see. Also how thick is the part the motor is attached to? I see it’s three layers but doesn’t look like 3 layers of 18 mm
Hou do you mount it against the Hull?
Hey! We bolt it onto the back of the boat with 12 stainless steel bolts and backing pads. 🙂
@@sovereign_skipper nice! thank you. verry doe you have te exact messurements?? can't really see it in the video
What’s the weight
Around 45KG or 100Lbs for our smaller one and this was was heaviest we did as it was the prototype couldn't tell u exactly but closer to 100kg depending which measurement you use
How many layers of glassfiber did you use outside and inside? And what type please
4 layers inside and out of 900g combination matt with polyester resin
@@sovereign_skipper thank you for answering. Im currently making something similar
@@Wfrench01 best of luck hope it goes smoothly
Mi puoi mandare lo schema e che spessore di legno hai usato
mi dispiace non posso inviarti il diagramma poiché abbiamo progettato questo prodotto. ci sono altri disegni su internet. abbiamo usato uno strato marino da 18 mm per costruire questo pod.
What thickness ply did you use ??
Three sheets of 18mm ply for the transom
@@sovereign_skipperawesome cheers
Also when attaching bracket to the transom was it bare fiberglass did you just glue and bolt ??
@@therukugorillazaotearoa_ we use sikaflex around each bolt, then attach it with 12 x 316 stainless steel M12 bolts
@@sovereign_skipper awesome thank you
