Default Redrive Updates

Marcotte in Quebec is now producing drives on a custom basis with extended housings in either 2 inch or 4 inch versions. Also optional is a drive pulley just behind the prop flange for a backup alternator. The VP versions can drive hydraulic C/S props by using the stock engine mounted P/S pump. They will also supply a heavier 13 lb. flywheel in place of the standard aluminum one if desired.

Subaru and Chevrolet adpater housing are currently available. Offsets are 1.5-1.9 inches depending on ratio.

Here is another drive for Subarus offering 3.3 inch crankshaft to prop offset; http://www.sub4.co.nz

...which demonstrates the right way to couple a redrive to an engine; a commercial torsional coupler with known values:
