yup lol, back in 96-97 was a poor college kid and didnt have an angle grinder.. so I made do with drawing down the skin hardening and the good ol hacksaw, primative-effective. might have had 150 bucks total into my 12ft tinny and lawnmower outboard, wasnt "fast" but it'd literally run around all day on a gallon. likely a better idea, extend the driveshaft with a couple bearings, crankshaft spline and shaft above, then belt driving to an inverted motor. the ratio changed with pulleys.. but, is it still gonna fit under the hood? many model boat outboards are using flex cable, is constant drag and power loss too, U-joints? how long are they gonna put up with being power-stressed? might be better to look into changing out the bevel gears, the oldie merc's had the quickie lower units for the 10-20hp racing hydro's. might get lucky with Grainger's or another supplier for a pair that can be bored or trimmed to fit in a lathe or mill? theres maybe some big 1:1 right angle drives available too if scratch building a lower. --- On Mon, 6/4/12, Craig Carmichael <craig@saers.com> wrote:
