Inboard to Outboard Conversion. DIY Bracket 

👍👍

Thanks!

Thank you! Unfortunately I have to sell this boat at this point and focus on the next I/O to Outboard conversion project. Bummer that I didnt have enough time to test and find the perfect setup for this boat, but still the results were awesome.

Thanks!

I did just that well even move the outboard forward. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NAOZypJjahg.html

I guess it depends on the clearance required to tilt the outboard when needed. You could modify the transom to suit but that would require a major rebuild and unless done correctly could compromise the structure.

Well not always ;) If you have too much prop blade surface it will slow your holeshot very much. But ofc that depends on boat/engine setup. And yes I picked up wrong props... I should have tested different props still. Really that long waiting?? ;S Thats rough.

If I dont calculate the stringer / transom repair then this conversion cost was about 1000€ (without engine and steering). So 1000€ includes making the bracket, engine and bracket installation parts, paints, sealants etc. On top of that new hydraulic steering was 700€, engine was 7500€ and parts/accessories for the engine was 300€. And then I did get some money back when I sold the old engine parts and that volvo-penta drive. Ofcourse this project included several tens of hours of working hours but thats just hobby :) These prices are 1-2years old... at the moment the material costs are almost 40% higher than 2 years ago...

I would not say issue but the boat was definitely much more sensitive for lateral sway. The center of gravity rises so much higher. It helps a lot when you move heavy components like batteries as low as possible inside the boat.

You have to make hatch on top of the bracket. You can check the other video where I made that bracket. I installed two hatches on top of the bracket.

@@BCB-Boats-Media thanks a lot. I assume hatch is waterproofed

@@dsms4274 Yes. Well it is above the waterline always but still there are waves and rain etc. so it needs to be waterproof.

Setback for the OB installation is one of the biggest benefits.

All the parts and material aprox. 1600€ + 7000€ the engine.

Sikaflex 291i. Its mainly just for sealing and the bolts hold the bracket.

Sounds good! Will be fast with those.

Kyllä oli. Veneen koko ja malli. Moottorikaivon teko olisi hyvin työlästä verrattuna brackettiin ja veisi tilaa pois veneestä. Bracket telineellä saavutetaan myös paljon etuja kun koneasennus menee kauemmas peräpeilistä. Ei siis ole oikein mitään etua tehdä konversiota moottorikaivon kera 👌

@@BCB-Boats-Media Löytyykö noita podeja/bracketteja puolivalmiina vai onko DIY hengessä mentävä? Venemestarin targa-artikkeli tuli luettua, mutta hyvin monta kysymystä aiheesta olisi. Kovasti kuumottelisi vaarivainaan Finmar Sea Cabinista tehdä tosimiehen center console, olisi jouten 140hp Suzukikin.

@@SW-mg7et Löytyy kyllä valmiina isonmerentakaa paljonkin. Suurimmat valmistajat taitavat olla Stainlessmarine ja Armstrong. Suomessa tällaisille ei taida jälleenmyyjää olla tai ei ainakaan mulle ole tullut vastaan. Monet metalli ja kuitufirmat kyllä teettävät pyynnöstä jossei itse halua tehdä.

Imagine going on a bass tournament and you’re able to go down on the deck after you catch your five bass 😂 relax take a nap you know the usual, while the other guys are out on their bass boats sweating to death

Yes! 👌

90% of the plywoods here are made with water resistant glue. We dont have separately "marine grade" plywoods.
