Volga Hydrofoils Messageboard

This is what I used as guideline.
and with magnesium not Alu anodes.

so corrosion is on the underside of the foil?
Maybe it had bad cathodic protection...

euh i have never seen this..
I followed the specs from the Volga manual I found online.

Hey Doug,

Little late, hope not to late.
Material is 321 H weld it with 347 SI
try to not let the aria surround it get to hot.
Max 175 degres celcius.
This is what my former hydrofoil mechanic tolled me

Hey Doug, the small diameter bolds are for mid aft strut, The Long one are for aft sides where the aluminium assist foils cover the ss foil. and yes the rubber is covered by a cup like ring. so rubber/cup/nut/nut I have 2 bolds, but a Nylock nut will also do the trick. this is the only photo I could...

hey
this is about the shape of the rubber bushing used on the inside..
Maybe this helps?
and make sure if you reattach the foils, the foil do not make contact with the hull.
They must be isolated from the hull, due to electrolysis between different metals.

Hay Titus and Welkom,

i will try to track down some drawings.
Presuming you already have a digital manual of a Volga??

Hello Richard,

Maybe it is possible to control the ZF with a Cable?
Think it will shift much easier as the original gearbox...

Greeting,

Mark

hello

Best is to scout on internet.
Or old boat yards.
I don't know your location, but in eastern europe you have a higher chance.
Try google in foreign langue/russian.


Good luck


Ps I know maybe in the Netherland a restoring company. but ain't cheap

A bare hull is not that heavy, almost to do by hand

I would be scared to roll my volga over..
The overhanging deck will bend easy.
But indeed a 2K paint is hard, and can crack quickly.

the only tip/hind i have is to do it slow and careful.

Good luck!

Mark

whauw, just whauw..

What a story, I hoop to see it fly again!



Goodluckt with the Auction.

ik would try to reduce the stress of the bolds.
Use many and if possible also on the floor,
like the original.
It is only 2mm alu plate...
