Here are a few pics of my new radio box set up. Last year I had a box that was not see through. I did not see the water that had gotten inside. This year I wanted something that I could see if the electronics are getting wet. I also went to a bell crank. This is a home made setup. I made it out of spare parts. I got rid of the cable system as it did not want to work with my new radio box.

Somebody shopped at Wally-world! I know, I bought one of those to try but haven't used it yet.
I don't see any seals around the linkages though. They might be there but I just can't see them if there are.

Interesting concept on using brass tubing..[X(]

Interesting! Yepper! You need some pushrod seals! When your throttle linkage breaks off, you might want to consider using a Speedmaster bellcrank assembly like this. I added a 4-40 pushrod to extend the arm over to the carb. Brian

Brian admit it you just wanted to show off your new motor didnt you ,i agree though he needs some pushrod seals.

As Brian said, the brass part is not going to live long, maybe with a support added to the outer end, maybe. Nice box though.

Wal-mart in the Sporting Goods area is where I got mine. It's used for putting cell phones, cameras, keys or other things that you want to keep dry when camping or boating. They go for around $7.00.

Yea, I need some boots for it. I just need the copper tube to last a week at the lake. After I get back I will order a new arm and bellcrank frome some where. I'm also making a rear cover for the boat. I had to stop and rethink what I was doing. I got some great advice from a Mod here on RCU. I'm hoping the cover will help to keep the water out.
