They are cosmetic.
They represent "Sacrificial Anodes".
These are not painted and corrode instead of the hull due to electrolytic action of steel in salt water.

I dont know i think those beams are flimsy
And the fiberglass is hard I can actually carry heavy things on the cargo bay

If you put enough weight on the plastic beams to get near them giving way I'm pretty sure the stern of the boat will be well underwater. People have 'trouble' with water washing the rear deck even at normal waterline and since you are planning to sea-sail I don't think you'll be loading it up any.

It's a scale model. The real things are zinc anodes on a steel hull. On the model those are indeed just for looks - whitemetal blobs to represent what you'd find on the prototype, as are nearly all the other fittings like the winches, handrails, portholes, etc. You don't have to fit any of them, but it won't look 'real' without at least some.

Cool so youre saying I dont need to follow how the aziz  looks
Hmmmmm I think the aziz can be one of those
Alaskan crab vessels hahahha

ill try to copy the aziz as much as I can



heres the fiberglass beam compare to the styrene beam
My beam is wider
Looks better to me than the beams you glue together

Wider beams means less height underneath for radio gear etc. I hope you've planned for that.  8)

Actually its the opposite
The fibberglass beams is just wider but  the thickness is less
the fibberglass beams ill use is
about an inch and a half wide
and about 3.5mm thickness
I have more space under those beams
One of the reasons why I wanted to use those beams instead
 Of The beams that comes with the kit is about
1/4?

Hi
since you are building this boat to go on the sea. I would be a good idea to improve the survivablity of the boat.
 If I was building it I would be looking at making compartments/bulkheads . this would help if water got in .
hatch covers. These need to be very water tight especial on therear deck as water can easly break over the deck.
Weight . I would go LIPO baterys as they are light weight so that means you can put lead sheet at the bottom of the hull.

When a boat sail on a pond if it breaks down it will drift in . On the sea it is very diffrent so you need to factor that in

Hi john

Ohhh thats a good idea compartments
I think im going to do that
With auto pump on each compartments
I figured if I go that route
I will need 3 compartments
Front middle and back
How to properly sealed the back anyway?
The front is nothing to worry
But the back is so low
Hmmmmm
I think im going to make the hatch cover bolted down with
Rubber in between
And hide the 6 screws with something

It's your kit - you can make the boat look like anything you want. Mine is going a long ways from the Aziz.
But the basic structure still needs to work with the hull you have.

It's not finished (and is currently on hold due to all the other stuff I'm doing) but you can get the general idea by clicking the link below and then following the 'Models' link.

OK. There are two things in that picture. If you go to the Hull & Running Gear section page 3, last picture on that page, Bow Equipment, is a later, better view with more info.
The bit you are probably wondering about is the bilge pump inlet which is covered in more detail under the last picture on page 1, Bilge pumps 1, and the next picture (surprise), Bilge pumps 2.

Just two - one at each end of the flat bottom area.
I don't have any bulkheads, so I just want to be able to remove water regardless of whether the boat is bow or stern down.
