Super Jet Going out shopping.. Need info on trim and cooling tubes.

[Roseand]

I know either aluminum or stainless for cooling thru tray tube, but what diameter? 3/8?
Also,what are you guys using for trim tubes?
Need to know ASAP cuz I'm driving out to a local metal shop in a minute.

1/2" PVC for trim and you can tap NPT internal threads and use a liquid tight fitting from mcmaster

Got some 3/8 stainless and a 10x8 13 gage piece of stainless for a pole backing plate. It has no flex,so it'll be good! Love metal shops. 4 feet of tube and the plate for 16$. Not bad. Off to ace for pvc and stainless nut serts( tray drain plugs).

I used 1/2" pvc.

Got the pvc. The 10x8 plate wasn't long enough.. Might make two seperate plates with it then. Here's my drain plug setup : stainless tee nut with a stainless socket cap screw, and an o ring. All from ace Hardware.

Like that drain plug setup. I may do something like that on mine, but my hull is sealed so I may use a wood insert with some epoxy.

I think it's time to start a build thread... With like every single basic task and information.

I used 3/8 aluminum tubing. For drain plugs I used brass bushing 1/2 to 3/8 with a brass plug drilled my hole small epoxed theme then screwed theme in put epoxy on the inside made a ramp to the holes

Like these? Bushings threaded inside and out? http://www.mcmaster.com/#50785K61

I think this might be the wrong size? 3/8 NPT is roughly .680" OD threads.

I have a bag of them in front of me. P/N on bag is cd09na-bk-n-o which is McMaster 69915K51

I'll sell you one for $5 shipped and if its wrong keep it and I'll refund you

I was just curious because my hull has a .50" od aluminum trim tube, so a .680" major thread diameter wouldn't work for me. I like the idea though. You said you use 1/2" pvc, what are the id and od measurements of that tube?
