hi guys am building a tamar class lifeboat and would like a working tansom door and  is it better to cut it out before gluing the deck on

[pipster]

Hi,
I cut the transom door on my boat before fixing the deck.  I went that way to give me better accessibility when cutting.

thanks phil how did you get it working? any advice would be apreciated

Hi,


I've not quite got it working yet but I made the hinges from brass (as I'm building the model slipway kit).  I plan to then use a sail servo to operate the door - long servo arm attached to cross bar and then a brass rod on each side; one end on the transom door and the other on the cross bar.  I think there may be some you tube videos showing how others have done it and possibly also some threads on here.
