    Hello to all again.

    I have been absent from this forum for quite a while. Old issues had come up again and it took all of my time to deal with them. My health is back on line again and I have missed being able to enjoy this group. As time goes by things do change. A while back, I was interested in the F1 outboards...

    To anyone who might know. How to convert gas outboard to electric outboard.

    I am sure that somone in this group has done this before. I might have to replace a 26.5 gas engine with an electric motor on a lower drive unit. I might have to change a gas boat to a electric boat, in order to use a private lake in a private community. It might becom an issue in order to get...

    Advancements in drive hardware?

    Thank you Grim, for you kind reply. Yes, I pretty much expected that the cables were still in use as the main drive today. I was just trying to find out what is being done differently today. The new motor mounting system is a large difference then what we had back then, and yes a well balanced...

    Advancements in drive hardware?

    Thank you for your reply Daniel. I only got into boats in 1975 and the flex shaft was the predominant drive at that time ,although some of the boaters perhaps, were going back to the older way. I was not aware that they had been used before. Thank you for the information. I was recalled back to...

Did anything develope with this, or did...

    Hello to all. My name is Lonnie Hyde.

    Thank you for your kind reply to my introduction. There have been a lot of changes to the hobby since 1975. Back in those days, the only boats that were available were wood kits that you had to build yourself and the only engines were the notorious nitro engines. All in all, today it could be...
