You might want to install the front recovery pads if you are going to run a mod engine.

Jerry, pardon to ask this but what thus the recovery pads in TS2 will do?thanks..

[Jerry Dunlap]

The front recovery pads(used in most tunnel boats) help prevent the boat from hooking to the inside in a turn. The recovery pads keep the sponsons from getting too much of a bite in a corner.

JD ,

Will they work for a Lap Cat 2?

If so what size is recomended and how far front/ back should they be placed?

The boat does hook every once and awhile.

re: recovery blocks on a Lap Cat 2

One of the guys in our club installed recovery blocks on his Lap Cat 2 3.5 Tunnel. You would want them the same width and length as the ones included with the TS2. The back edge of the recovery block should be 1/8" below the bottom of the sponson. It's possible the TS2 revoery blocks might be pretty close.

It all depends on what .21 class you plan to run !!

In Australia we just have a 3.5 class so i think you can run any 3.5 outboard.

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of building my TS-2 and with the motor on I can hold the head or prop and there is play up and down between the motor and mount . I did not measure it but I bet is close to a 1/16 ". Is this a problem or i shouldn't worry?

Hi Ed,

What engine are you using? If it is the O.S. 21XM, be sure the nylon washers are on the mount and lower unit hinge pin.
