Garrett constructs a custom deck box from Western red cedar to house the engine controls, shift, throttle, and gauges for a Westerbeak 52 engine.4:24 Because the cedar walls are 1.25 inches thick, the chosen shifter housing requires a recessed mounting point.6:49 Garrett uses a router to carve a 7/16-inch deep footprint into the interior of the box, allowing the shifter to seat properly and ensuring the shaft extends through the wood for handle attachment.19:55 The box design includes a hinged top hatch for access to internal cables and plumbing, with the structure secured using glue, screws, and 90-degree clamps.14:13 Separately, Garrett and a helper finish the engine exhaust system by applying high-temperature gasket material to the elbow joint, securing it with hose clamps, and wrapping the assembly in a fiberglass heat shield.10:42 Future tasks include installing the raw water strainer and routing cooling lines.11:19 Proper planning of mounting depths for engine controls prevents the need for complex routing or material thinning during the build process.
