    I notice there's zero sealant on the head of the bolt and the washer
    That's a great place for water to seep in. Rip transom in 3 years.

    They used to call that bracket the Grady Drive. Not sure who made it but that was definitely made for Grady stock. Bad for peeling. Had one for years.

      @Grady252 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The bracket was made by Springfield. Very tough and very thick. Even with the corrosion, they will last forever. Just does not look great with the peeling and lifting paint. How do I know? I have one now. I have repaired it in spots, but ultimate would be if I ever remove it, to sandblast, fill bad spots/smooth and repaint. No need for a new bracket. I do find it hard to believe the owner did not want to recondition the bracket before putting back on though. Some folks could care less about cosmetics I guess, just care about function.

    How to get bracket to sit the way you want it on forklift.... building shims. You can get them at a home building store like Lowes. Its easier than trying to find someone the exact right height... on this type of application you can use them over and over.

    Nice job, I just wish the fiberglass guy had done his magic to the bracket to match the transom. You guys still based out of the marina you were at last year or did you guys strike out on your own? If you did make a go at it on your own you would make a ton more money with just a little added headache. Technicians are becoming harder and harder to find.

    @philipstreechon4523 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have seen a bunch of videos like this do you contact the boat manufacture before you do this. I ran a quick calculation, and that bracket will add an additional torque to the transom of 1100 LBS just in a static load based on 500 LBS @ 24"that does not include the torque they produce or shock and vibration. I called Grady White and asked about putting a engine bracket on that boat They said no you should not do that it was never designed for that and will not handle the added force and will screw handling center of gravity among a long list of other things.

    looks like Inboard original. Engine WAS likely almost originally placed in the forward/middle.
    I'd be skeptical about The Balance having been hyper-extended she gonna porpoise as she tries to Plane Out.
    That would be a very heavy hull, with all that twin engine torque lifting that beast?
    I must have missed How all the hardware and controls get to the engines? I'd never advise this variation from design.

    • @calin7017
      @calin7017 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do agree. A boat's floating line is designed to sit with the forward and aft perpendiculars on the creast of the waves and the total floating line length to divide evenly to the waves in between. As the boat will come up with the speed, the new floating lines shall continue to divide evenly to that wave length. That is the reason for porpoising and consequently the trim adjustments. Adding any extra length to the boat, without considering this ratio, affects negatively the handling of the boat.

    Tripod and small hoists work the best. All the rot in those boats came from rigging. They didn't glass the drill holes or cuts (notch transoms) the big disappointment was the scuppers under water line at the dock. If a hose popped off it would sink the boat. Lesson learned, research the year your boat was built (recession years) and the CEO of the builder. Alot of those guys sacked quality companies for the sake of huge exit bonuses. Look at OMC, one guy ruined that company.

The idea of installation, hanging engines on, rigging and already had a new transom installation is just stupid. Are they going to install a couple blown engines, since that seems to be the mindset? How much to bead blast ,prime and paint? Sounds like the owners have spent to much time in the sun.
