SD build
Figure I would try my hand at building a sd. Going to either put a 6hp or 10hp on it. Probably going to take a while because I'm just working on it little at a time. Everything will be made out of 3/16 5086 alum (all scraps off a boat).
Here's where I am now. I have the belt housing built and part of the transom mount.

Re: SD build
Looks good! Bit of advice even though your just putting a 10hp motor on it if you even decide to go to a bigger hp motor go as thick as possible and main stress points(transom bracket) I've never built one, but I did have a Dixie mm and they went think on aluminum on main stress points and caused me to have tons of problems. Broken welds snapped prices of aluminum.

Re: SD build
Well I decided to do the pivot points out of some steel hinges I had. I hated to do it like this but I didn't fell like buying 20' of pipe and rod to build a 6" hinge. And I know this will last alot longer than the alum.

Re: SD build
That's definitely a different way to go about the pivot.
Don't see why it won't work though!

Re: SD build
Anyone have an idea on a motor? Want something cheap. I can get a 10hp LCT for around 200 but don't know much about them. I'm building a lt with a 6hp briggs too so I thought about briggs.
Anyone have anything bad to say about LCT?

Re: SD build
They are built just like a Honda, some people swear by them.

Re: SD build
A good paint job would make them things look a awful lot like a 10hp!

Re: SD build
The boy I got the motor without a gas tank said it had a little knock in it. Well come to find out the connecting rod bots backed out about a 1/4 in. Messed the crank and the conn rod bearings up pretty good. I guess I will build this one up for higher hp!! Other motor runs great!

SD build
Negative. Put one of the motors on a lt frame I have. Building boats right now so I don't really know when I will be able to get to it.
But I got with my machine shop guy and got the shaft and bearing figured out though.

Re: SD build
Anyone know what prop to run for this little motor? Going to be the same gear ratio as a copperhead. Thought about running a 9x9 or 10x8 hill.

Re: SD build
I have a question about the skeg.
Shouldn't it be the same distance from the shaft that the prop is or a inch or 2 bigger?
As in the prop is 10" so the tip of the skeg will be 5" from center of the shaft?
