Ep82 Building a Direct Drive Electric Motor Mount, Part1

Описание: Thank-you for watching and subscribing! Catching up on the winter maintenance vids I changed the Golden Motor mounting from a pulley system to a direct drive (shaft to shaft) system to see if this make any performance gains.

I had to pull out the propeller shaft seal and 2 blade propeller and while I was in there I put in a new cutlass bearing as well. There are 2 parts to the motor mount, the mounting plate which replaces the fiberglass panel I made last year. I decide to put in a 1/4 inch stiff aluminum panel. To get all the dimensions right and the fitting to be aligned, I made a template first out of wood and then transferred the holes and cuts to the aluminum plate.

Part 1 includes the steps up to the replacement plate, shaft seal and cutlass bearing alignment
Part 2 is the welded motor mount and shaft coupler and testing the alignment (fails!)
