Re: [electricboats] Advice for electric conversion

Okay,
I've attached a pdf of my conversion from the 30+ year old really expensive parts Volvo Piece of iron to the Thunderstruck AC 34 for your entertainment. I have learned a lot since then and am now on my 3rd set of batteries with which I am pleased. I've also attached a photo of the top of the lower section of a VP 120s saildrive and am now thinking what Randy is proposing would be a great way to go. the shaft sticking up from the saildrive is actually a small jackshaft and slips onto the splines that are sticking out of the very top of the loewer unit. A new plate in place of all the parts of the upper section of the saildrive with a much simpler bracket and coupling method,  eliminating the friction loss of the original transmission, shifting issues etc. would seem to be a much better way to go.

Please please please let us all know if this works out and take and share pictures.
Cheers,
Ric
