Finally BoardShark time
Bear,
It wont stop dumping SNOW here, its a ridiculous winter. I am ready for some summer, it would be great if the snow stays in the Mountains.
I got around to working on this Shark...Yay
I cut up a few plates of metal, and I also cut a big ugly hole in the deck of the board.

Ronk- Looking Good !! If you run into any clearance problems you should be able to flip both servo arms and run the pushrod on the rail side.
You also want the arms to be parallel, and the pushrod to be at 90 degrees to the arm in the center position.

The past few days of rain have dissipated and another stunning sunny day appeared at dawn !....missed the high tide by 2 hours this afternoon - surf a touch far out- difficult to 'sea - but - still managed to squeeze a few waves out of the session...(Sun + Fun + Family + Friends) = Great Life ...

nice work on the shark.
just in case you feel as though there is so much work and re-work to get it going, and maybe feel a bit snowed under, try this quick vid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0vGdpukpRM I was thinking on giving my dude a GoPro head..
I think I am ready to clean my Shark up and seal it with epoxy and I should be ready to rock..
P.S. I love the SNOW!!
