    I’ve been working on a new motor mount design to use the motor boot holes instead of zip ties. Zip ties work fine but removing supports from the holes in the printed boat was a PITA. I could just print the mount separately, but would rather have integrated.

    general idea is have to motor attachment as removable both for periodic replacement if needed and to make aligning the motor bolt holes easier (doing it outside of the hull). Sliding feature to allow for variations in motor shaft and stuffing tube length.

    I think this version is pretty good, it’ll prop be too wide for 2 shaft boats but should be fine in the convoy

    showing the motor piece that’s removable, 6-32 heat sets go into the holes

    This will now be integrated into the hull files
