help guys, counter rotating flex shafts, how to?

[tuncd]

Hi guys,

my new setup is a cat, with twin motors. props are counter rotating but can I use similar flex shafts for counter rotating?
I can not change the direction of the flex cables because they are assembled to the prop shafts. Any suggestion?
thanks in advance to all.

You need to have a right and left hand flex. OSE sells the right hand that you want.

I couldn't find left and right hand flex cables in OSE. even doesn't appear in search results?

OSE is this website OffShoreElectrics

OSE also sells products, including the items you need.

Since these are counter rotating you will need a left and a right "lay" cable. The Lay is how the cable is made. If you run the same cable in both spots the counter rotating one will unwind.

Another option may be a wire drive depending on how much flex your current cable is doing. If you have a pretty much straight line it could work.

Ive also seen "counter rotating" collets, probably dont really need them though!
