flex shaft length on a rebuilld
Hi, i am rearanging and upgrading my Shockwave 55, re-glasing the hull (original is to thin!) and re-installing theengin supportstringers and installing an Arrow SharkSR512 Stingray Drivestigner. I am using the stock Zenoha 230 (for now) and I was wondering what the distance between the transom and the clutch on the motor should be so I can use a standard 1/4 Flex Shaft? I am not sure i can use the same mounting holes for the engine as the original since I'm changing the drive? I will most likley install a newArrow Shark non-springV2 clutch and collet.
Any suggestions on the correct distance for my mounting bracket would be much appriciated?

RE: flex shaft length on a rebuilld
If your using a square collet then you will need a cable/stub shaft that will allow you to cut and solder it. Not a huge deal but certainly more involved than just cutting a round cable. Another option - If your using an aeromarine collet then you may well be able to just swap your collet from a square ferrule to a round by just replacing the insert. Personally I would opt for the round cable setup.
