Re: [Electric Boats] has anyone ever had experience with fin drive propulsion?

 

Joe:   The Mirage propulsion is an interesting design. If I ever find the time I was thinking about building a dingy that might incorporate the unit. The only problem I see about converting it from feet to motor operation is that there is more moving parts involved than the prop, shaft motor/engine standard. I could be wrong but, I'm not sure it would hold up at higher speeds for very long.   Capt.
