This thing turned out Sweet! I think I am the first to finally complete one. There was a lot of talk out there but haven't seen any Volvos work yet. Learned a lot! Do not use the Lathem Marine wing plate on a barrel back 2+3 there will not be enough throw on the pistons and the L shape will cut up the rubber bumper
No more Steering Helm!
The drive is rock solid when running and provides steering when engine is off
3 turns lock to lock. I will take that with no play!
Through bolted the fork with 3/4 sholderd bolts.
I have the wing plate saved in C.A.D.
if anybody would like to buy one.
Can't wait to get it in the water maybe tomorrow.
