Outboard Motor
An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft. As well as providing propulsion, outboards provide steering control, as they are designed to pivot over their mountings and thus control the direction of thrust. The skeg also acts as a rudder when the engine is not running. Unlike inboard motors, outboard motors can be easily removed for storage or repairs. In order to eliminate the chances of hitting bottom with an outboard motor, the motor can be tilted up to an elevated position either electronically or manually. This helps when traveling through shallow waters where there may be debris that could potentially damage the motor as well as the propeller. If the electric motor required to move the pistons which raise or lower the engine is malfunction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fiberglass Molding
Fiberglass molding is a process in which fiberglass reinforced resin plastics are formed into useful shapes. The process usually involves first making a mold and then using the mold to make the fiberglass component. Mold making The fiberglass mold process begins with an object known as the plug or buck. This is an exact representation of the object to be made. The plug can be made from a variety of materials, usually certain types of foam. After the plug has been formed, it is sprayed with a mold release agent. The release agent will allow the mold to be separated from the plug once it is finished. The mold release agent is a special wax, and/or PVA ( Polyvinyl alcohol). Polyvinyl alcohol, however, is said to have negative effects on the final mold's surface finish. Once the plug has its release agent applied, gelcoat is applied with a roller, brush or specially designed spray gun. The gelcoat is pigmented resin, and gives the mold surface a harder, more durable finis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
