foam under engine bedplate???

[GIL]

How about rubberized foam fitting tightly under engine bed plate? Now bolts, washers and nuts can't get to never-never land unless u pull engine out.
Pro's? Con's? Or is this already the oldest trick in the book?

Oh yeah-F-the dry pipe-struck up a deal on a B pipe w/mod chamber.
Check the new sig line.

Dont do that. On a super there is a lot of room under there, its easy to get parts out. And lean the ski to the front and it'll roll out.

You cant put a piece under there beacause the parts will still roll back behind the motor under the driveline, and you wont be able to get it out from back there, since its easier to roll it forward under the motor to in front of it, then to fiddle under the shaft.

I think that would restrict motor movement way too much, you'd probably break the inserts for the motor mounts. Your ski would have a definite 'vibrative tone' to it doing that. A telescoping magnet 'wand' works great. I have a screwdriver that has a telescoping stick that comes out of it (like a radio antenna) with a magnet rod on the end for when you drop a nut and bolt into the engine bay. Has come in handy numerous times.

Different derivatives of stainless steel maintain different levels of magnetism depending on the particular alloy and composition.

back in an issue of watecraft world they did a write up on the joe kenney blowsion sharkboat.....they laid a sheet of turf inside the motor compartment....said something about vibration absorbtion..

Just hush and put it together already Gill!!!!!! :smile:
Get er dunnnnnnn

Good thing Yamaha uses zinc coated bolts.:banghead:

aluminum and stainless are both non-magnetic.

The most popular stainless steel is Type 304, which contains approximately 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel. At room temperature, the thermodynamically stable crystal structure of 304 stainless steel is bcc; nevertheless, the alloy's nickel concentration, as well as the small amounts of manganese (about 1 percent), carbon (less than 0.08 percent) and nitrogen (about 0.06 percent), maintains an fcc structure and therefore the alloy is nonmagnetic.

Hell, I had no idea!

What about that whole magnet-to-the-impeller business?

400 series is a little magnetic it has more iron in it. 300 series is not magnetic.
