Look into a torque arm with a solid coupling. Alignment will always be assured.

Direct coupled motor :

For a saildrive, it might require a flexible joint, if the motor is mounted right on top of the saildrive vertical shaft.

This depends on your alignment skills. It could even be "free floating" with rubber bushings mounted to a motor frame.

The horisontal shaft in the lower part of the saildrive has a thrust bearing, so no need for an extra.

For a shaft drive, a thrust bearing IS required before the flexible joint connecting the motor, of course.

This could be a double spheric roller bearing.

Alignment skills are mandatory here.

Cheers,

Carsten
