Re: [electricboats] Engine room tips?

Thanks for all the tips! The frame is in and the motor and controller go in today.

I'll post with an update.

Here's one additional idea I had which has already proven useful: I lined each side of the bilge under the engine room with an adhesive magnet sheet, so now when nuts and washer fall in, they stick to the sides.

When I removed the old engine, after decades of dropped pieces, there was probably a pound of metal just in washers and nuts that had fallen down there.
