made a trim out plate to clean up the transom around the pump. just have to counter sink the hole then off to polish. Yeh I know it's large but I wanted to cover the recess around the pump.

This sure is coming out nice.

So you used 2 layers of 1/8" ply on the floor ? My junk project had 1/4" that I have to replace, and 2 layers of 1/8" sure sounds like a better idea. That way I could stagger the joints like you did and it should end up stronger. I haven't seen it done like that before, nice idea !

I like the wood look a lot. Is it getting covered?

« **Reply #32 on:** April 12, 2012, 02:47:09 PM »

I may not cover it, the wood does look great.

Found the smoking gun! The owner of this SST before me blew his fresh engine the first day out. The owner before him Blew three engines. Both sold her out of anger. Well I found the reason they all blew. The SST had the original through the tunnel mounts and the original bell housing but the drive shaft was changed from the origanal the bolted direct to the crankshaft to the PTO adapter and drive shaft type. neither owners moved the mounts forward just jammed it together and with that preload and the load of the pump moving forward they kept eating rear mains. I glade I caught it. Here is a pic of the new bell housing and a pic of the offset to the mounts I had to make up
