Glastron Surface drive

[CharlieN]

Now that I brought the boat out of the shop it is going rain for a full week, oh well so much for the passing rain on Sunday. It is stored under cover. I wish I had removed all the fasteners holding the engine and drive in place such that a lull in the rain I could quickly remove all of the drive.

It looks like there will be a lull in the rain later today, it has backed down to just a drizzle at this time but I have an appointment with my Neurologist in a few hours so maybe I can get a few hours to get at least the engine on the work stand. Once that is done I can remove the transmission with the boat back inside.

Another morning waiting for the rain to stop. Yesterday I got most of the fasteners removed that hold the engine to the transmission so if things work I may get the engine on the workstand by late morning.

The rain stopped,


With the engine inside on a stand I can fabricate the water jacket for the headers, this will be time consuming.
I will soon remove the transmission allowing me to clean the bilge, do some detail work the paint that area and the rest of the engine bay.

I am progressing on the exhaust, real close to starting to fabricate the water jacket on the lower tubes.

Frustrating, I was writing up my recent work in the hull and loading the 3rd of 4 images and this site shut me out, Oh well.
