Bob,

I no longer have the test stand used for my .45 cu in Nelson outboard. I tested the engine with the PTO attached by using left hand propellers. I used APC C-2 props. The photos show the special drive hub,10 X 7 & 10 X 6 left hand propellers, both cut down to 8". I also show the special balanced prop driver that was used. It does the same thing as a balanced flywheel.The long stroke Nelson could turn the 8 X 6 left hand propeller at approximately 32,000 RPM. Protect yourself & others around you when using these type glass filled propellers! Notice the red colored propeller tips which make the propeller visible at WOT!
