Transom and Steering

The boat is getting closed in.  Handy old 1/8"masonite is now known as eucaboard.  It's still the best thing for making templates,

Sloppy welds can be dressed up with the lathe if needed and small enough to fit.

Trial fit of the transom piece made with the eucaboard template.  Nice fit!

It's easier to crawl in and out without the transom in place.  Here is a mock-up of the steering system.

And finally, a look at the base for the steering wheel at the helm.
