Hello there Scott.

I got your name from Craig @ Swashdrive. Just curious to know how your driveshaft assembly work with the cable drive. We are setting up a few of the jetboats, but dont have the drive shafts for all and Craig is currently out of stock as he is a busy dude. So thats cool there has to be another way. He gave me your link.

Hope your still around.

Thanks

Hi Sean

I'm not Scott, Nor am I an expert. But What you will need is a flexi-cable that is wound the right way. It will either need to be square on one end or have a slide adaptor to compensate for torque shrinkage. for the other end you just need a collet to attach to the jet drive. Depending on the length you may also need a stuffing tube to stop it getting the wobbles caused by misalignment and imbalances in the cable.
I don't know if that is helpful or if I am just repeating stuff that you already know.
Good luck with it.

BTW what are the boats you are putting together?

hi there

I am using a flex cable on mine. i have the swashdrive jet in my boat also. I used an octura flex coupler with an 8mm thread in it on the jet unit side and on the motor i used a regular flex coupler with a square end insert in it. it works great with the standard zenoah but a mate has a quick draw in my boat at the moment and i dont think it likes it too much. i am about to try solder a solid tube over the flex.

cheers
