[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 411389, member: 20605"] hey thanks Duke! The build got a little side tracked. When I bought this boat and motor about 3 years ago, I noticed that something did not seem right with the swivel bracket. The seller knew what it was and showed me, the bracket was cracked and had a hunk missing out if it For some reason I forgot all about it, when going over the motor to get it on the boat I looked at it and decided this needed to be fixed before I lost the motor in the drink! So I found a bracket on ebay, the shaft (called a king pin) was also bent, I did not notice that until I took it apart. I ended up making a new one on the lathe at work out of aluminum bar stock. Here is a pic. If you look close you can see how the centerline of the shaft running though the bracket shows how bent it really was [ATTACH type="full" alt="20160417_094336.jpg"]84130._xfImport[/ATTACH] So thats fixed now, I was up north at my cabin this past weekend to spring commissioning my Grady White and remembered that the brake actuator needed replacing (leaking) so I pulled that off and brought it home. So now I have a few boat projects going on at once... [/QUOTE]
