Kevin, Sorry you are feeling ignored. I went back to the post you referred to and remembered reading it. I can't speak for anyone else, but when I read that you wanted to be able to spin 360 degrees inside an outboard well I moved on. That type of tech is way beyond me.
Now you mention a 17x17 prop and shaft. I have a 17x18 on my Freedom 32 (9k disp). With that huge prop on your light catboat you should have no problem finding your speed. I got my motor system from Electric Yacht http://www.electric
Good Luck!

I have read countless posts over the past year and figured someone might have a great idea.
