New item TFL Outdrive and motor assembly.

Maybe two of these on my ProBoat Shockwave 36 could be killer !
I want to convert it to electric and this could be the units

Would you set these up to be surface drive? The centerline of the prop shaft even with the ride pad/bottom of hull? If so and depending on the dimensions, it's possible a single unit could be used on a small cat. That would look real cool and corner awesome.

Just got in my pair. Thanks Steven! I am very happy with the quality of the exterior. If the gears are hardnened and done well, I see no reason these should not work very well on a 30" hull, or maybe a 30-35" twin setup. I will take mine apart asap, but I am using them in a display hull, Dumas Type S Scarab, 30" hull, and should look great, but doubt I will run them. Mike

I have gotten some request for measurements, so here they are guys! These things are cool. I don't even care if they function...I would buy them for a static model any day! haha

I would buy two of these units FIRST, and then just find a quality hull to mate them to! I agree with you, Mike... these are VERY COOL!

Definitely Darin, I plan on giving the company feedback once I look inside them more. I want this company to have the info they need to make these units easy for their customers to use and maintain. I was already told by good friend/ boat mechanic that purchased two of these, that the grease needed to properly protect the gears, would be Lubriplate 105...and I agree with him. Its a grease/oil mix that keeps water out and will help protect the gears. I really really want to see more things like this for the hobby industry. Getting back to realistic is a must! Mike

Alright Mike, since you are sharing, how much adjustment is there?

3 degrees up, 3 degrees down!

Hi Monica
is the pricing of the spares also avaible so that we can calculate the support ?

[cybercrxt]

Gear ratio is 1 to 1 as I took the unit apart last night. The gears look to be case hardened judging by the black coloring on the steel gears. They are straight cut, and seem to mesh very well. One thing I suggest everyone do, is take the unit apart, and thoroughly clean out the gears themselves and inside the lower unit housing. I found various metal shavings lodged in between the teeth. It is just machining scraps, but needs removal, or it will damage the gearset. The lower 2 gears seem to be sealed decently from the outside elements, but the top two are not. The top cap is just that, a cap. Myself, and a friend that bought two of these are looking into drilling and taping the lower unit to create a fill port, sealing off the top cap with silicone or rtv, and drilling a hole to port the top gears with the bottom gears through the caviation plate...fill the lower unit unit the grease come out of the top cap vent, then plugging the holes with Allen set screws. Keeping water out, is vital tho. This is something that really should be addressed by the manufacturer, but we can all make the unit reliable, its not that difficult, it would just be nicer if the top cap was sealed and drain screws tapped...but for $199.99...I am definitely not complaining!
