Been a bit since Ive done anything so headed down to my workshop last night and started cutting! Been avoiding this because its scary to cut into the hull, but seems to have turned out all right. The pic shows the strut installed through the hull. This holds the driveline/stuffing tube and prop. There are a ton of measurements and theory on how it should be placed. I spoke with a few local guys and took their advice. 5/8” in from the transom and a 1/4” left of center.
The hard part now is installing the motor so it lines up with the strut…
