Marine and Architectural stainless in Porana rd have made a bunch for shops I worked for in the past. Nice work and good guys.

The key is to make sure you get the pod made at the correct height and angle. As the motor is further out off the transom, you will need to raise it.

As you go back 12 inches, you need to go up 1 inch. Make sure this is factored into the design.

As you move the weight further back it has more leverage - so it will tend to dunk the motor further in the water, waves coming into the stern dont provide any lift until after they have passed under the motor ie the motor get a lot wetter and if you haven't got a high transom you can end up getting heaps of water over the back which drops it even further and thats always when some big fat scuba diver is trying to climb on board - Just my thoughts, I wouldn't do it unless you had high sides and transom.]]> Tue, 21 Aug 2012 18:07:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81670&PID=1167064&title=outboard-pod#1167064 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81670&PID=1167050&title=outboard-pod#1167050 Author: BBFisha

Hey ya'll

Looking to get an outboard pod made up to free up a bit of room in our boat and also to try and get a bit more performance out of the current set up.  Does anyone know of a good alloy fabricator in Auckland that would be up to the job or any other suggestions.  Current boat is a 4.8m Sea Surge.

Cheers

Kev
