Re: [electricboats] Thunderstruck Gear Reduction

Michael,

For a direct connect via a flexible coupling...  What type of coupling are you considering, or would recommend?  I'm trying to determine how to connect my motor to my transmission / gear reducer.

Thanks!

:-)

I had to order a bigger hydraulic crimper because I went 2/0 for battery cable and couldn't find anything locally that would crimp the lugs. So I am going to try and install the battery cables tomorrow or Wednesday. Can't speak to the noise or vibration till then.

William, just curious if you've completed installation of the gear reduction? 

Thunderstruck recommended the same setup to me, but I'm curious about any extra noise you think the reducer might cause vs. a direct mount of the motor to the prop shaft via a flexible coupling
