<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">So here is a breakdown of " stuff" needed based on a 2 motor set up&hellip;</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) shafts</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) stuffing boxes</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) shaft struts</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) drive dogs (these hold the props in place)</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) props</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) rudders</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) rudder stuffing box</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(2) tiller arms</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Then you will need couplers that connect the motors to the shafts. Before ordering them know what size shaft is on the motors so that you can get the right one to connect to the shaft. For example, you might get a motor with 1/8&rdquo; shaft and have a 3/16&rdquo; prop shaft. The coupler would be 1/8&rdquo; on one side and 3/16&rdquo; on the other. There are many different variations so it&rsquo;s best to know the sizes before ordering them.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">-Rich.</div>
