Re: Ok Getting ready to rehab my Spectrum Some ????s
Hey Mark I am at that crossroads too. Mine could not be put in after the cap is welded it sits in a brace. I have 3 minds working on it at the moment. It needs to be welded in the corners for sure. The steering cable needs to be raised because the way they had it bound up. Monday for sure is transom day don't know if it will get done but is top on the list. Will get some pics of the design.
What do you plan to do with your transom cap when reinstalling? Weld it back on? I have a Spectrum 1606 that is going through the same process as yours. I started pulling just enough stuff to get the transom out. Once it was out I found wet foam. Now the boat is down to the hull. I had to cut the welds and to remove the transom cap. I also cut the cap\engine well into three pieces...engine well, left cap, and right cap. I planned on reinstalling the three pieces and then having it welded. Now that everything is out of the boat I think I might be able to have it welded first and then fit it in place. The only thing I'm worried about with welding is the head messing up the sealant for the cap.
