Here you go finally go round to taking some photo's of the inside of mine for you ? Your's is looking well like the speaker, What sound module are you going to use ?
On mine the Gell Cell sits in between the two motors and everything is fused even the bow thruster.
The bolt you can see running from the deck to the keel is a support for the tow hook

Hi Ian

Since I took the photo's of the inside of mine I have changed the steering arms and used stronger rods to stop the flexing you can see in the photo's
Still tugging well though

hi guys . here is a video of my mmb asd tug in the bath . have a look . its on facebook so why not add me as a friend too
https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=378287688859950
-
quite a fair bit of power that! %% maybe you could get a luggage scale tie it too the bath taps and then to the tug and get a reading!!
Only if the bollard on the tug is anchord into the hull though dont do it if its stuck to the top or itl rip off and youl get a mushful of 20lb boat!

ill do that mike . but is there any conversion that i could do to get a scale bollard pull on it ??
-
not sure thats maths :embarrassed:, dont know if multiplying the reading on the scale to the scale of the tug would give you the right answer. make sure though that the bollard on your tug is well anchored down way into the depth of the hull with a nice fat bolt or something. like this one on bills.

i have made a deck frame on mine . cus where that bolt is i have got a 8 inch speaker haha
-
from the pictures it looks like your speaker is at the front. im talking about the bollard on the back and the bolt going down between the propshafts. Are you biker by any chance or a metalhead?
-

nope .. im a .... well i was .... a boyracer haha .... years ago .... but i know this is going to have a awesome sounding engine in it soon with air start too ..... ... but with theese asd tugs . they are designed to tow from the bow !!
-
Fair enough then if you reckon it will hold :-)) dont pull the bath taps off!

it should be ok . seeing as i built the deck structuring with towing in mind !!! and it is super strong .. i can pick it up by the winch so im sure its not going to be a problem !
-
judging from the pictures its not just tug you play with in the bath then {-)
looking good mate on the water this sunday than ?
<*<
-
think im gonna give it a miss tomorrow mate as i aint got any transport !
