Hi looking to build a outboard pod it goes on the back of a boat and the engine hangs off it needs to be really strong

I am planning on using 630gram m2 woven roving 15 layers the pod is shaped like a box the.laminate will be inside lining of the box the corners will be 3 layers times 15 layers do really up to 45 layers thick in certain sections

Hand lay up is not a option due to the extense labor time

Just wondering if it could be done using vacuum infusing? Are there any techniques i can use or tricks of the trade?

What size pump do u think i will need? The side of the box is roughly .5 m3 1 laminate is around 1.5 m2 and i need 15 layers

Resin will be vinylester 60min working time

Thanks

Should not be a problem with a roving fabric, as they are open enough to get good resin flow through the stack. I would however use a slower resin to avoid thermal runaway.

I have available 60min pot life infusion vinyl ester resin
Can u tell me the difference between a 50 litre per minute pump and a 300 litre 0er minute.pump both have 5pa of pressure one is single stage the other is 2 stage
Also can i have the most outer layer the side that will be seen woven roving insyltead of chopped mat?
Also with vacuum infusion am i able to use multiple layers of woven roving on top of each other without having chopped strand mat between layers like hand lay up?

Cheers
