Excellent layout and construction, as a retired welder and layer-out fitter I enjoyed your work style. Good job!

I was planning on building a mud motor from some plans I purchased on EBAY. I like your style a little bit better. I will merge the two. I also live in Florida. I make a mean smoked mullet. Love your work .

Great video, you did an awesome job on your set up.. I wanted to build 1 of these 15 years ago but didn't have the knowledge & equipment I've got now. I did get as far as drawing it out on paper, lol.. Only place that had em was mud buddy the kit they sold was pricey, I wanted to build it anyway get more satisfaction & actually learn somethin. Thank you for being decent & sharing w/ us,

Tab, my hat is off to you my friend. This was outstanding. Love the design and I will get to work on one just like it. Maybe try it all out of aluminum. Oh and BTW, the Cajun music at the beginning was Killer. Thanks Much.

I am on the tail end of building one similar and find that warping had been a bigger issue than I expected, had to cut off and redo 2 welds today on the skag bc of it. Waiting on the bushing material to come in now to complete my build.

An idea. Could you connect exhaust to the top down pipe with a flex hose, then drill some exit holes at the bottom near water level? That would mega quiet the motor! And since tube is stainless the exhaust gasses will never rust it out...

Hey there Tab. I think I'd go with a CV joint boot, or a rubber boot from a rack and pinion steering setup. You should easily be able to find the perfect size for that u-joint. Plus, it'll be water tight! How do I find more information on plans/parts, etc? By the way, really nice job!

Hi I want to know how long the shaft is from the engine to the propeller drive

@markthornhill519 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Tab, just wondering...why you didnt turn the old transom mount from the outboard around to the inside of the boat...and use the vertical swivel section for part of your mount. Just curious probably a reason im not seeing from the angles of the video. But it looks great. You did a very professional job.

@reidnichol9255 7 жыл бұрын

Great workmanship. I have always been interested in these motors. What I don't understand is almost all boat have fire extinguishers visible, RIGHT BESIDE THE MOTOR. Is it not best to have the extinguisher as far away from the source of flame as possible? You end up getting burned before you get to use the extinguisher.

I really like your work and I am in the process of gather parts to build one. Where do you get the shaft and dimensions for the shaft and the specs for the prop? The is the part I am stuck on. Thanks For Sharing

I have some questions for you about the bearings. I am stumped and sure could use some pointers. Like what brand and kind of bearings did you use.

@herlihy433 5 жыл бұрын

Hi there, I'm a good friend of Tabs and I helped him build his mud motor. The way we did his bearings was we welded a 1" socket weld coupling onto the shaft housing (DOM) ,then we welded( if I remember correctly) a piece of 1½ pipe onto it, stuffed that pipe with three 1½ bearings, slid the shaft into the the housing and bearings, then topped it off with a locking collar around the ¾ shaft. I can send you pics if you like of a mock up I did so I wouldn't forget how I did it.

@herlihy433 5 жыл бұрын

The bearings were 1½ x ¾ sealed bearings from ebay.
