Hi Dan, excellent video again. As I have to start drilling the prop shaft hole for my boat project, can you tell me the diameter you drilled that hole? I guess you are using a 1" shaft diameter right?
Hmm, it's a little while ago now. Yes I am using a 1" shaft, if my memory serves me I think it was 1-1/2". If you are using a fibreglass stern tube as I have, the inside of the tube wants to clear your shaft plus a gap of course. I think mine was 1-1/4" internal and 1-1/2" external so your drill bit size wants to match the OD of the pipe.
This is a William Jackson design called "Rocket" from the old boat building annuals. I think it's similar to Gentry but narrower, nice design though, I can't wait to start doing the topsides!
@@DanLeeBoatbuilding No way! I saw that step and wondered if it was the Rocket. Have admired that boat for many years. Hope you do another video on how it runs. Will subscribe.
The strut is a Glenwood speed strut, bought second hand on ebay. The shaft that I used for the tool is an old damaged one out of a boat. I don't have my proper shaft and propeller yet but I will be getting them made by: www.hardyengineering.com
The rudder will be mounted on a bracket that sets it back off the transom. Have a look at the prop and rudder systems on the Century Thunderbolt, Rainbow III and 2 Le Git. There are many boats that use a setup like this.
That was a pleasure to watch!
Proper British craftsman, a pleasure to watch, Thank you. SUBBED
Thanks Greg 👍
Try using oil instead of water to cool the strut when drilling. This will stop the friction which is causing the heat buildup
very good hints and tips thankyou would never have thought off that cheers

quite ingenious there mate! Nate from Boston
“It fits well in the hole, and aligns quite nicely with the shaft as well” That’s what she said 🤣
😆
nice job!..... well done
Very nice mate, Thank you.
Great instructions thanks
Wouldn’t an end mill have made a better “drill bit” if you have a guide?
You should make a video showing how the propeller shaft is sealed to prevent water from entering the boat
I will use a PSS seal but I haven't got to the stage of installing that yet.
Those look like some small heads on those screws attaching the strut?
They were just temporary for drilling the hole, when I fix the strut in place permanently it will definitely have some bigger screws in it!
is this a glen-l design? looks similar to thier "Gentry" great vid!

Where did you get your strut, shaft, and prop?

Show inside dude
the prop is going stick out the back boat wair the ruter go...
Can't you make that strut adjustable.? and use that for trimming the boat...?
Cool
Hello I build a craft chris Glen's Monaco, or I can find the axis and the support(medium), have you an address. Thank you
Where's your rutter going?
It is a transom mounted rudder.
step in the hull - no no no ........
Eden Hunter - yes!
not going work.

chump tools.
