Re: [electricboats] repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?

Just my initial .02,  there is probably someone out there who would trade an equiv. inboard elect. for your Torq. OB.  I certainly would, if I had it on hand.  It'll be a lot of engineering to put your's in the bilge.

I have a 28 foot, 5 ton, Tyler Twister (long keel) with a Torqeedo 2.0 mounted on a home made bracket on the (transom hung) rudder. Due to the steeply angled transom, there is no ideal way to mount an outboard, so I am contemplating going back to an inboard engine. What do you guys think of using the Torqeedo 2.0 as an inboard engine? Perhaps a belt drive to the propeller shaft? I'm sure this would void any warranty, but would it work? Would cooling be an issue? Any comments appreciated.
