how have you mounted your bearings? Like I stated before I'll be using a lower speed motor higher torque Motenergy ME0201014201 with a vetus bullflex flexible shaft coupling and a PYI shaft seal to aid in both alignment failure and drag on the shaft. My concern is transferring the torque to the hull thus minimizing the impact on the motor. I feel comfortable with the direct drive, I've seen several and haven't heard of any problems. One of the conversion companies suggestion was one if not two thrust bearings with direct drive. I'm just looking for history either or. I also have changed props from a two blade to a three blade 12"- 9 pitch. If this doesn't work I have a shop that will change the pitch. They actually have loaners I could try. Since I want to change both cutlass and shaft seal I'm having my 40 year old shaft trued and polished. Again et me shut my mouth and open my ears for suggestions.
thanks
Jim
