Re: Cummins repower
Jason, do you work for Bertram or Viking or somebody.... Looks like your a bit more than an "enthusiast"
You are making it look easy and I know it is NOT

Re: Cummins repower
Where is all the dust? Or the over spray???
If I was doing this I am sure it would all over my neighbors lawns and houses...it would look like the North Pole.
How do you do it and keep everything so nicey nice??? Amazing job

The original Bertram wiring with both upstairs and downstairs ignition switches that need to be on has foiled many thieves I bet. It even foils me if I am not careful! LOL!

Re: Cummins repower
Thanks guys!! I tape off when I spray and only one neighbor has a car I ask him to put in the garage. I bought the https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/collision-r ... on-system/
It’s great it doesn’t put out to much overspray. This is the first spray gun I ever owned. It is a very simple system.

Your results are wonderful and I appreciate you sharing the tools. What size/type compressor do you use?Snipe wrote: ↑Sep 27th, '21, 17:52 I bought the https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/collision-r ... on-system/

Re: Cummins repower
I started off with a small 30gallon air compressor but I was getting a lot of moisture and it had a hard time keeping up. So I upgraded to an Ingersol Rand 60 gallon and built a custom aftercooler for the air and a couple filter driers. I am getting much better results now.
Jason
Re: Cummins repower
Only thing that worked well for me was a refrigerant air dryer, adding that made a huge difference...my machines do not like moisture.
Re: Cummins repower
Carl the airline right out of the head used to dump right into the tank putting really hot air right in. I bought that heavy duty transmission cooler and plumed through that before putting the air in the tank and the fan for the air compressor cools the cooler it works pretty well with the two separators at the tank and one 15ft from the spray gun or tool that I am using. Of coarse I am not running a shop like you but works well for the home garage!!

Re: Cummins repower
The cooler was from Amazon and I bought the mounting kit as well it worked good.
The company Hayden makes other sizes also. I liked this one because it’s threaded on the input and output sides.

Re: Cummins repower
I had the very brief pleasure to finally meet Jason in person and see his boat. We had about 30 minutes in the rain with my family sitting in the car, we were on the way to a surprise party.
Pictures almost don’t do it justice, we often see pictures and when you get up close it’s not quite perfect. Everything he’s touched on the boat is AAA work. Great guy, unbelievable work and very giving of his time with someone who had 30 minutes to see as much as possible.

Re: Cummins repower
Thanks Pete it was nice to meet you. Today I worked on the fly bridge overhang first I hated the little lip I tripped on all the time second It was a little spongy in the middle so I am hoping this will stiffen it up a little.

Re: Cummins repower
Now that is interesting.
I wonder if the channel you created is going to be a catch all for dirt.

Re: Cummins repower
Tony it is tapered down and will be glassed into the original drain lip.I got the idea from Jim Swaggler. This is his boat Swagger

Re: Cummins repower
Now I get it. That looks really neat. I like it. And the toe rail and fb accents on Swaggler look amazing. Beautiful B31

Re: Cummins repower
Cut the glass put some fillets in and layed up two layers of 1708. With just the two laminated pieces of 1/2” coosa glued in it stiffened it up some. Can’t wait to see how it feels with the glass on it. Hopefully the weather holds up and I can get it faired and painted.

Interesting. I asked because I thought you were using something smaller than 1/2", not two layers of 1/2"!

Thanks for letting me stop by the other day! If I did not have another 70 miles to drive I would have had a few beers with you...
To all following this thread the "Snipe" is a work of art. The quality of craftsmanship of all the work is bar-none. I have always considered myself an above average guy when it comes to being able to do all kinds of things and Jason has showed me that he is on a different level. His willingness to share and help is another attribute that he has. I am glad that Jason is on this board because he has a lot to offer!
I can not wait to hear about her first sea-trial in 2022

Re: Cummins repower
Question for you guys repowering with the cummins 5.9.
What is the distance from the inside of the hull to the center line of the Crankshaft? I'm going to have to move my shaft outboard about 3 inches to accommodate the Cummins from the Volvos

Thank you Bob I used some of your innovations along the way!!
Rick I took some measurements for you the first is off of the outboard stringer
The second one is off the inside of the hull. If you need any thing else let me know. [/[url=https://imgur.com/wwOmySd]

Ok now you have gotten my attention. Jason lets see this work of art.

Re: Cummins repower
Thanks for sharing the details on this great project. That is remarkable work.
Do I see a PVC cap in the upper left corner of the photo above?
Is that space reserved for a thru-hull?

Re: Cummins repower
Yes there is a thruhull with a cap it was there when I bought the boat. I think it was intended to be a drain for the deck hatches.

Re: Cummins repower
So sadly I got home from work to find out I lost the gamble it rained and I lost the paint job. There were rain drops all in it. I guess that was just practice for next time. Start sanding and prepping hope I get a good day to spray again before the cold sets in.

Re: Cummins repower
Well it was looking good. Are you spraying AllGrip or Alexseal?
From what I understand, Alexseal is more forgiving of the cold.
