Hi All,
Two quick questions if I may please :
on paintThe electric boat I am rebuilding for my son and I is presently canary yellow. My Son fancies "Subaru WRC rally" blue
I have used solvent and a cabinet scraper to remove the red decals applied to the plastic hull by the chinese manufacturer.
There are a few minor "nicks" should I dremel polish these out? or sand them down ?
is there a particular filler for plastic hulls or just layers
of primer and elbow grease ?
I intend to use a spray can to paint the boat but need advice on the best way to prepare an already painted plastic hull to accept
further coats of paint , and indeed the best type of paint to use .
on propshaftsI am aware that on a twin prop boat it may be necessary to reverse wire one of the two engines to reduce vibration.
I believe that the props are usually "handed" ? (with this in mind I was careful to label the old props "p" and "s" when I dismantled them! )
But does that mean that I also need a pair of matched propshafts (e.g. with left hand / right hand threads) to assure self tightening like on bicycle pedals?
or am I dependant upon washers and nylock nuts and any two propshafts of similar dimensions will do ?
Many thanks in advance
regards
BB
