I just notice that on my SV27 the saft and motor is totally offline[:@]
Fuc... chinese #"¤&#!¤/%#&¤(%&#!! builders!
What shall i do next?Nothing or try to bend everything to straight[]
This could break my shaft etc.. because it´s not on the line
There is a thin black line(on drawing) on the shaft and from there u can see that the shaft is totally bending to left....

It's hard to tell by the photo but to me, it looks like the motor is mounted at an angle. Almost like the motor mounting bracket is not properly installed. Doesn't it look like the left end of the motor should be moved towards the starboard side?

For sure the picture is causing the parts to look crooked. I suspect there might be some misalignment but the pic distorts the boat so much its not legible.

If you flip the image over you see that it was taken from the right hand side of the boat. This clearly shows that part of the "misalignment" is actual the natural angle of the motor.

Weird double post. Sorry.

Ahh, the joys of RTR. It does look to me that the motor is what is misaligned. I would try and remount the motor correctly in-line with the flex shaft.

I'm not sure what flipping the picture will do. It just seems it will then look misaligned the other way.

Hey finvee27 - can you take more pics of it from different angles?

Yea. you can see from the view of the motor supports (you can see the side of one but not the other) shows the the picture is not centered over the boat. This doesn't prove that the motor is located properly but it doesn't prove that it isn't either. Hard to do.[&o]

The picture is definitely exaggerating the angle. It is not flipped though, the word "Aqaucraft" on the motor would appear backwards if that was the case.

I guess the best course of action would be to slot the mount holes to allow some adjustment of the motor angle (it'd be too difficult to slot the holes on one side of the wooden stringers).

Let's put it this way, I know it's a drag to have to do stuff like this to a new boat right out of the box, but it really is handy experience that you will use in the future if you ever upgrade the boat.

After my experience with the SV27 though, the boat could come unassembled as just a box of loose parts and it would still be a good deal.

Now if they would only make some more brushless boats...hmm, brushless Miss Vegas anyone?

Finvee,

If you could take a photo from the back of the boat looking forward into the cockpit it would help.

The stuffing tube on my SV wasn't centered either. I got the blunt end of a drillbit that fit snugly into the stuffing tube & gently bent it back into line. Looking at the position of the mount on the stringers the motor should be inline (if the stringers are in correctly).

Ok, Now i have made some modifications to motor mount etc. It´s MUCH better now! Need to bend this and that
Sorry about the "bad" cellphone picture...

why so mutch fuss about that? 10minutes and all fixed. don't u want a bilstering quality for small price.

ctonez

he didn't fuss much at all...I'd be frustrated too if that was my first boat purchase and it was all misaligned.

good job on the fix finvee!

it looks like a she to me, look at his/her nails, haha. Plus the pink boat.
