Hi Chris; glad to see that you are coming right along; I would like to know more about your "shaft system" I couldnt find any test to accompany the fotos. are you going to use a swiveling long shaft, like Wakataitea's? What diamenter/material driveshaft; how long; what size prop, and nr of blades; pitch???? I was going to go with a traditional pivoting long shaft for my 28 hp Deutz air cooled diesel; my  boat is 46', weighs about 8 tons.. You remember, we corresponded several lyrs ago; but I wasnt able to post in such a way that you knew I was calling....Maybe this will go thru!? dennis in Florida
