To begin I had to break my boat the Miranda and did not look forward to do so. I had installed my stuffing box and was working on the servo installation, there is a built structure covering and hiding them but after the servos were in I tried to put pilot house back on and it hit the servos. Had to break out the structure and fix and ready to go LOL
Now to the stuffing box.
I had epoxied it in place and tried the shaft and it ran just fine but one problem the prop was going to hit the bottom of the boat. Had to break out the keel, remove the box and put the keel back in place.
All went well and the boat is back together the stuffing box will be refitted and then on to more on the boat.
Best laid plans .
