Two hours of work to prepare everything to glue the OB motor mount. We purchased a Honda 2.3 hp long shaft for this boat. The motor mount is a robust wooden beam (2x6) passing trough the vaka abaft of the aft aka and protruding to the port side of the vaka itself... So we sanded all the interior surfaces to be ready for epoxy glue and fillets
We sanded also the port hull side along the hole
and finally we sanded the motor mount itself
Next time we'll attach it permanently to the hull using epoxy glue and large fillets.
We also measured the total weight of the aka beam system to be 67 kg (lighter than expected).
Total work time to date: 724 hours
