TRANSOM TROLLING MOTOR TO AN ENGINE MOUNT TROLLING MOTOR, Dated 1 April 2016©,
Version 1.0 For the purpose of steering and trolling motor speed control at boat steering console, instead of transom. trolling Motor is then steered with boat steering wheel. 1. 20 pages. Including 2. 3 Charts. 3. 28 Graphic
Figure Depictions. 4. Cost $15.00,
free shipping and handling. (Experimental, all modifications are at "YOUR OWN RISK" and are not manufacturer recommended) DISCLAIMER: Any references made or eluded to or about any trolling motor manufacturer is not represented, such manufacturers approval is not given and remains the sole proprietorship and copyright of such manufacturer. There will be variances among the different trolling motors and boat gasoline driven motors you mount too, metal lengths and wiring will vary with each application and special mounting circumstances. WARNING: 1. Altering a Transom Mount Trolling Motor
will void any remaining factory warranty that currently exist, unless using a
previously used motor without warranty. 2. Drilling your current gasoline
driven transom mounted motor to accommodate trolling motor mount may void
manufacturer warranty, but factory sold motor mount trolling motors require the
same drilling as well for mounting on the Anti-Ventilation Plate / Fin. 3. Not
adhering to precision drilling could undo project success and make correction
irreversible, when drilling trolling motor mounts through top and bottom of
Anti-Ventilation Plate / Fin, of the gasoline motor host. 4. Ensure the
trolling motor you convert is of a thrust desirable for the boat you are
planning to use on, consult Guesstimation Chart 2 below. 5. Remember as you
Disassemble your particular trolling motor, you must remember how to reassemble
after modification, if you do not have the factory original manual, you
may want to download from motor manufacturers sponsoring web site
the original diagrams. 6. If you understand the above precautionary
measures, let's begin after you have fully read all directions and understand
the mechanical alterations, and possess the skill and tools required. The total
overall length added to the boat is roughly 12" at projects end. 7.
Failure to use required fuses, wiring gauge sizes or proper connections may
result in an electrical fire or system electrical shorts and failure, proceed
at your own risk. ADVANTAGES: 1a. Typical factory sold trolling engine mount motors cost $640.00 (at time of this printing) or more at best price, beginning at 55 pound thrust and with a 12 volt operational requirement. b. Using a used or low end trolling motor at 30 pound thrust and 12 volt requirement, cost $95.00 new (cost varies based upon your requirements or availability) plus under $100.00 for conversion parts required, regardless of thrust required. Saving over $400.00 although the thrust is much less (but does this meet your boating maneuverability needs). 2. Trolling motor mounting at engine offers steering and speed control from the boating operator's seat and steering console. Offers docking and undocking maneuverability as well as a reliable safety back-up for main engine failure, dependent upon battery strength (peace of mind). 3. Mounting with this type of Modification, places the Trolling Motor 6" lower than a typical factory designed motor mount, so if this has kept you from buying a factory mounted one due to submersion height / depth when mounted, this might very well work for you now, even without having power tilt and trim. TESTIMONY: I have been using a converted trolling motor (30 pound thrust, 12 volt requirement) for over one (1) year without incident or failure on a 16' pontoon boat, with a 40 hp 4 stroke motor with power tilt and trim in rivers, canals, lakes, fishing (quite maneuverability required) and boat ramp docking, with all equipment and personnel weighing over 2,000 pounds and close quarters among numerous other boats while docking. TOOLS REQUIRED: 1. Hacksaw (Preferred reciprocating saw with metal cutting blade). 2. 3/8" Reversible Drill with Extension cord. 3. C clamps (for holding project materials and permitting precision hole drillings). 4. Permanent Marker. 5. Safety Glasses, Gloves or other personal protective equipment as needed, such as a work bench free of clutter. 6. Screwdrivers, wrenches, files or other special tools required to disassemble your particular trolling motor being modified. 7. Dependable 5/16" drill bit (smaller or larger bit size use is at your own discretion). 8. Soldering gun and solder. |

Audi SQ5 Exclusive – for when an SQ5 just isn’t enough
Fri, 14 Sep 2012Audi are debuting a limited edition of their new SQ5 – the SQ5 Exclusive – at Paris 2012 before a limited production run of 50 cars. The new Audi SQ5 – a diesel RS Q5 in all but name – bowed in at Le Mans in June featuring the 3.0 litre twin turbo diesel V6 with 479lb/ft of torque, 309bhp and a very un-SUV 0-62mph of 5.1 seconds. As the range-topping Q5 you would think that would be enough for Audi, but it seems they think there’s a market for an even more exclusive Audi SQ5 so they’re producing a limited edition model that’ll cost an extra £30k – the Audi SQ5 Exclusive.

Novitec Alfa Romeo 8C Spider adds boost for a sensuous 600 hp
Wed, 04 May 2011Novitec has laid hands on the near-perfect Alfa Romeo 8C to create the 8C Spider Kompressor, a car the tuner claims is the “most powerful street-legal Alfa Romeo of all time.” Heady words, but they're nicely backed up by a supercharged version of the 4.7-liter Alfa V8 cranking out 600 hp and 434 lb-ft of torque. That's up from approximately 450 hp and 346 lb-ft on a stock Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. Tweaks supporting the force-fed mill include a water-to-air intercooler, custom injectors and revised fuel and ignition mapping, plus a variable stainless-steel exhaust system.
