Engine was put in yesterday , I keyed the bottom of the mount then with silicone glued it in place I also put 2 screws in the back because this not only helps hold the mount in place but also helps reinforce the base , did the soldering , my soldering skills arnt great but it's done the job , I had abit of wood that I didn't know where it went so the best use I had for it was to use it as a support of the bow/ foredeck area as this was pretty flimsy , I cut a small slot in the support and put a tray in for the electrics , decided this was a good point Because it's not under the hatch so less likely to get wet and it's also up high so it won't get wet also to prevent them getting wet the trays at a angle so the only place water might get is through the deck join at the bottom of the slope so instead of sitting on a flat surface or running to the rest of the electrics it should just drain down into the bilge , it not being under the hatch will make access awkward , to get around this the tray housing the electrics isn't glues so can be un wedged from the slot if I need to get to them otherwise there nice and out the way , so just need to fit the electrics and put the rudder and battery holder in them on a nice day it'll be time for a quick lake test before I stick the deck on
