Shaft savers!! Are you referring to a collar put on the flex shaft forward of the stuffing tube and aft of the collet just in case the collet comes loose? For that I use Du-Bro collars. They come in a variety of sizes. I always have half a dozen of each in my tool box.

Any left?

I'll take the conrod. PM sent. Wally

I as well have had to find a 'middle man' as you call it. For me it's just anther mailing address. What I don't understand is the big issue of sending something to Canada. I have sent tons of stuff to the US and lost nothing,. Same postal services, same countries just going the opposite...

Mine cost me less than $70 to build as I had most of the stuff available in the shop. That is not counting the camera and the drive unit which cost twice that. That is the biggest hurdle for me.The Graupner Schottel II drive The unit is good as it takes the prop through 220 degrees of rotation...

I see a lot of nice ideas in what the guys have built. This is meant more as a "Needs Analysis". That is to say, a list of the requirements for a retrieve boat. I don't see anyone concerned about the room the retrieve takes up in the car, What is the desired size that would be optimal for you...

With the fishing line be it braided or not, how do you hook onto a flipped rigger? Not very much to snag on one of those except possibly the tip of the glow plug. A scale that has flipped would even be more challenging as you may hook the driver's head when it is underwater (and I'm sure he...

That is one of the issues I need to resolve. When going out after my D hydro the retrieve tends to 'climb' over one of the rigger's sponsons. It is like the 'capture area' is too large for the rigger.

When you use a fishing line aren't you worried about the rudder or the prop cutting the line? Latch onto a big 90 or gas cat with a line on a sharpened rudder and all the time you're pulling it towards you stern first (as well as pulling the electric boat also). Something is gonna give. I tried...

I’m doing an exercise in design and input from the members on here would be invaluable. A couple of years back I was at a boat race in MI and was doing some last minute tuning of my boat when it died in the middle of the pond. Not a big pond but when all you are using is a rod and a ball it is...

I will take them for my buddy. He is big into outboards. Thanks Wally

Got a freebie for you. Long story short, made a deal with piper_chuck to buy his SS45 with no cowl. Dick Tyndall had found the cowl for the boat in the pond he ran at. He sent it to me for the cost of postage. Chuck vanished from the forum and I never got the boat. I did however get the cowl...

I'll take the props if they're not gone yet. Thanks Wally
