Default RE: Fully Operational Right Angle Drive

The video isn't working Cadmonkey...

I am guessing that the boat is using Azipods for propulsion.
The steering set up looks well done. Any hints on how you're
connecting to the motors? Drawings?

I was plotting how I could use Graupner drives to mimic the
azipods on the Bergensfjord boats. they are certainly capable of
rotating 360, but the Bergensfjord uses double ended drives...


I think the only concern is the black allen head screws that
you are using. Those things rust horribly. If you can find some
stainless steel screws, they will make your life easier should the
drives ever need to be disassembled for maintenance. [8D]

Ahh, got the videos off of the West Coast Ferries Forum ...
