I tried that motor as a single on a 26" deep vee with some success. I set my ride height and thrust angle like I would set up a tunnel boat, surface drive, center of prop shaft just a fraction above hull bottom. I ran it on 4s2p, I had a few handling issues, chine walk and some porpoising, the boat showed some potential, after several runs trying to get it dialed in I was just getting close and the boat stopped dead in the back stretch. I broke the flex shaft loosing the prop, drive dog, nylon washer, along with the broken shaft. Yes the shaft was greased between runs, 6 /8 months later the thin wet spagatti noodle flex shaft was still not in stock at mfg.'s web site. Now I see the shafts are available but the drive dog and washer are not, no matter that motor was tossed in the trash long ago.
