Thanks Jeff. You just saved me about $25 bucks! I appreciate you going over the steps several times as I’ve never done anything like this before - but have a boat project I’m working on. And thanks for your quick answers.

Awesome video. Just recently bought an aluminum boat and your videos have been really helpful in figuring out what to do. Keep up the great content!

I was wondering if it matters what direction you put the longer end in or the shorter end, in my boat, the short end is on the inside of the boat, and the long end to the outside of the boat.

Is it possible to get the link to that product, i can't seem to find the link. Thanks.

Do you need to plug this drain whole when launching the boat water was coming in I didn’t pull it off the trailer cause it’s my first boat it’s a old one 1980 it has a splash well it was about 2 inches but I went to the boat shop they said that’s normal cause I was launch when I pull it off the trailer it will stop and drain out until it’s under the drain hole water level

[@bowl830]

No you don’t plug the splashwell drain.

Don't use brass in aluminum, it will corrode Via Galvanic reaction

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@blakesmith5227]

I need to do this but my engine is on the boat do I need to remove the engine?

[@bowl830]

Some are on the sides. If so no need. I have done it with the motor in place. It’s just harder. Good luck.

[@mikedrury1317]

I have the same boat, would you trust putting a 90 hp 350 pound motor on it? Or is that too much?

[@bowl830]

We shall see I got a 90 Suzuki four stroke for it. Lol. Haven’t mounted it yet 😂

[@mikedrury1317]

@@bowl830 i looked at a 2006 Johnson 90 hp that seems to be in great condition. Do you know anything about them motors, and what should I check for?

[@bowl830]

Always check compression. I always check lower unit and make sure there’s no water in it. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it

[@kansascityshuffle8526]

That transom material is it pvc foam or plastic sheets?

[@bowl830]

It’s a rigid pvc like material. It’s grainy just like the interior of PVC pipe.

[@kansascityshuffle8526]

@@bowl830 ok so it’s definitely NOT the extruded foam PVC then. Thanks. Like the work so far. I hope you touch on how you fab that trim cap in the future.

[@douglasleap3001]

Do you know how to get old motor well out

[@bowl830]

IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE BOAT, IVE PULLED A FEW

[@mikedrury1317]

Is your motor not going to cover that drain?

[@bowl830]

There’s enough of a gap that the water can run out

[@mikedrury1317]

I looked back and heard you say that. I hooked my motor on mine yesterday and ran all the cables and the cables are about 2-3 foot longer than where I wanted to mount the controls. Any suggestion to kind of shorten them?

[@bowl830]

@@mikedrury1317 cables are pretty cheap I’d just order new ones the correct length. You can look at the jacket on them to see the length.
