Starting the build
A few photos of progress so far - very slow as everything else seems to take priority - spent time for instance looking for a microswitch to get someones wheelchair going again .............
As you can see I had a helper - Willy the curious , the 1/2 outboard is a broken one (have the other parts) which will be altered to look like a small Mercury rather than an slightly oversized Evinrude Lark. Picked up two problems already with the lower deck cutouts being too large on the 10" version and the decks of both are far too short - so they will be re-cut today . Everything else seemed OK . For the 7" will be tryng a plastic tube for the shaft casing to save a little weight..............
