Post Building a long tail...
Has anybody used those eBay plans, are they worth it?

I think you should model it after this one.

I built one using Mad Mud Motor plans from E-bay. I used a 8 HP motor and it turned out nice. The plans tell you everything you need to know and has lots of photos. You can't go wrong.

Anyone else have problems with the grease seals that they recommend from mcmaster? Mine kept leaking, not sure if I had too much grease in shaft?

Well, I finally finished the longtail but I can't seem to keep the prop In The water.

Did I set the angle of the shaft wrong?

No woodie, you have the wires on your flux capacitor backwards. Switch them around.

I know this is off topic, but I'm looking at an 1854 GTR boat and motor. What kind of speeds can I expect from this?

Also, what does a stage one for a 2 stroke 280cc Honda consist of? What gains can I expect?

I would like to know the valve lash and cam specs for it if anyone knows that too.

You only need blinker if you plan to operate it between 1 and 2 A.M. In reverse at speeds above 20 mph.
Your prop is fine, the reason it's called an 8x5 is it starts at 8" but is good until 5"


I am new to mud motors, where is the portal to enter blinking fluid? I assume it's the one on the top of the valve box?
