James -<br><br>I could also send you a "schematic"ketch for drive train setup, but better yet, I'll send you some digital images of the set-up when we finish installing in our electric launch. May be

Send me a private message, James, off-list with your snail mail address and I can send you a diagram. My email is in my profile. Afraid I'm not up to computerized drawing. In fact, it may be the

Chris and Larry,<br><br>I know this is asking alot, but is it possible for you to draw a sketch of your ideas and post it or send it to me at buehnerjl@.... This may help me to understand the

Just a note for anyone else out there who may want it and for those who presently have the Excel spread sheet that I devised. I have no commercial interest in this tool. I developed it for my own use

Larry and gary,<br><br>Thanks for the suggestion for securing the engine and prop shaft. Where can I find the equipment, pillowblock and marine thrust? When I finally get an ida of the set-up and

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do with my old broken diesel? I mean, where do you put them? Is there an old diesel graveyard I don't know about, or do I cut it up in little pieces and

Larry,<br><br>I have a quick question regarding mounting the motor to the prop shaft. How do you do it? Also, what does a guy need to protect the movement of the prop against the motor. Oh yeah, what

Gary,<br>Theres been a lot of argument about the validity of thrust as a power measurment. We are not qualfied to enter the argument, however thrust is deftinely variable upon speed. Some EBBA members
