this shaft should work, correct? I just need a stuffing tube and teflon liner? And then a 6mm to .185" collet?

don't even try to send it back to HK if something happens to it.

If you look around here on the forum, most people that have sent things back have never seen anything again.
(but there are a FEW that have gotten results)

the money you save up and pay for the T-180's are money very well spent.
also if you do go the T-180 route, save and spend the extra 10 bucks for the programming box for them.
SO MUCH easier to program using it believe me.

where are you located at?

List edited, im in northeastern Mass, about 30 min north of boston

stay away from 'Y' fittings. water will always take the path of least resistance. you may get good water flow on one side and poor on the other. those y fittings should be thrown out imo

was going to be used on the output side of the system, will it work for that? or should i just put in more outlets?

[dana]

how would they be used on an outlet side? like to have two cooling lines run into one outlet? i still dont like it. you will get one line flowing nicely and the other line obstructed and not moving water. i just run more outlets

[Seacraftarioch]

2 inlets, one side goes to one motor the other side to the other motor. then the outlets of the motors are y'ed together to go out 1 thru-hull outlet

was trying to keep it clean, but preformance over looks. Is it ok to run the outlets through the transom? or does it have to be through the side of the hull?

[dana]

you can run the outlets wherever you like. most guys put them where you can see the water coming out. think of the 'y' fitting like bottlenecking traffic. you have two lanes going into one because of raodwork, the lane with the roadwork is going to be slower because youre trying to get into the lane thats moving. thats the best way i can describe it. im not very articulate sorry lol

[dana]

Just my opinion tho man, you can do however you like =)

I think im gonna go with one outlet per inlet. Thanks for the info, the way you described it was good, thanks

Here are some pics of it as it sits rite now:






The 3/16 ajustable stinger from kitec will work for me correct? How far should my rudder hang off the back of the boat?

Also do i need a left and right cable if i run counter rotating props?

[carlcisneros]

Arioch;

Stingers would probably work pretty good by the looks of the Graupner outdrives there.

That is an old Graupner hull. (German Company)

For a stuffing tube just use the 1/4" brass tube WITHOUT teflon liner.
In the past I (and others ) have had the teflon liner wrap itself around the flex shafts.

just grease the flex shafts real good before each days outing.

also get ahold of a reverse wound 3/16" flex shaft. that way you will notbe fighting
real bad prop walk while the boat is out on the water.

by the way, there are going to be a couple more things I found that will be in the package coming to you later this week.

Carl

use the speedmaster rudder with dual water pick ups and at least a 3 1/2 to 4" set back to clear the props and center mount the rudder
between the stingers.

[Seacraftarioch]

Should i use the origional holes from the shafts that are there now, or would it be a better idea to fill and fair them?

Should i reinforce the inside of the hull with CF or fiberglass?

Thanks for the info on the hull, now how do i edit the name of the thread? And thanks again for your help!

[carlcisneros]

don't worry about the name of the thread.

you could probably use the same holes from those mounted outdrives.

check the distance from the center of one prop shaft to the other and
then check the diameter of those props that are on the outdrives.
if they are around 45 mm or so, you are pretty much set.
