: Before epoxying the control box to the hull I faced it with 6oz
: glass and drilled a hole on each end to accept a CF ferrule that
: will accept the teflon sheath later. Here I have started to add
: epoxy to it and have the CF pushrod set in place for a test fit.
: The knob is a trial. Not sure if I will try to make it removable
: with a set screw or just glue it permanently to the pushrod. I'm
: leaning toward just gluing it. I'm not expecting to ever have to
: remove it. If need be a new CF rod will be required anyway. If I
: could do this over I would extend the CF ferrules into the
: opening about 3/4" each side to act as stops. It would also
: help support the slightly bendy CF pushrod.

Very nice Mike and a great set of pictures showing how it's done :)

Btw, might have missed it, but where did you find the CF rod?
