I had an old hydro hull, I believe its the Miss Vegas, and wanted to FE with it but Im not sure if my motor placement is gonna work. The stuffing tube comes into the
boat really low (almost flat) and the can hits before I can get it lined up with the flex. Ive just started running a flex shaft on my old Prather Deep V conversion as I always used a solid shaft on it so the cable went straight in. On this hydro I've had to move the motor so far forward to get what I would call an acceptable angle into the tube I have 2 1/4" of flex shaft between the coupler and the stuffing tube. I don't know...it just feels to me that with the rpm's these things turn I'm gonna wind up (literally) with a big knot spinning at the speed of sound and send this project to the bottom.
Does that sound like too much exposed flex to anyone that's experienced with this type of drive?
