Re: Change of Mind

I've added a T piece of timber that sits at the joint of the bunks and ramps, also shoved some 3x2 hardwood inside the ramps. Have pulled it on and off a few times and nothing flexes or moves. I realise it's not the best way, but I had most of the stuff lying around so it only cost a few dollars. I'...

Re: Change of Mind

Yeah, the overhang I checked somewhere and it's apparently OK, but I should find it again and print it out so I've got something to show to any over zealous person who pulls me up.

Re: Yet another DIY electric motor mount

Thanks for the comments guys. Took it down the river for a spin yesterday and as a result made a slight change. I removed the head of the motor and changed the aluminium steering bar for a bit of PVC pipe. Extended and ran the wires down the conduit and into a sealed plastic container that I shoved ...

Yet another DIY electric motor mount

Hi guys, please bear with me here, this is my first post (so I guess this can serve as an introduction as well) and not real sure about how to do pics pics. I was lucky enough to win a SafariH2o kayak at the Annual Mulwala Cod Classic over the Cod opening weekend in December last year and since then...
