I think mosslanding's idea is more reliable. The motor bearings can easily support the weight of the motor. A torque arm that is flexible in the radial and axial directions, but rigid in the tangential direction is sure to work. Look at the way encoders are mounted.
Thanks, that makes sense.
was thinking I would build "play" into the system and if I mounted it on the four corners of top of the Sail-Drive transmission casing then I would have a method for either adjusting those screws or the face plate screws for the electric motor. Would make a shaft coupling from engine drive onto the vertical shaft, place engine loosely mounted on mounting plate, then spin prop allowing motor to "settle" onto the vertical shaft. When no further discernible motor motion, I would tighten the mounting screws.
In my mind this works, likely the real life application would not be this easy.
