    that's a lot of prop. that'll be your problem. time to upgrade the drive or prop down to an X642. Even then you'll probably break it in time.

    you'd have to go with all new hardware to get rid of the steerable outdrive. Fullers is a very popular choice.

    thats looks good but will it work because of the 3/16" Propeller shaft? instead of the 4 mm shaft?? or do you need to modified the shaft assembly ?

    your x645 is 4mm? I thought they were 3/16.

    if the prop hole is bigger then the dog drive and shaft use the stock prop insert to make up the diffrence

    the prop shaft size is 3/16 so i have to use a shim that goes from 3/16 to 4 mm:) so that way it will fit my bj and sv :)
