Hi Guys
I have been looking into the drive chain for the CardCat X900 today and have chosen to go with parts available from Robbe.
1) Kort Nozzle with special 65mm plastic props (left and right rotating)
2) 200mm stern tube
3) Double universal coupling
4) 12v 8A electric motor (abt. 1/8 BHP)
There will of course be two sets since the CardCat X900 is a catamaran.
Unfortunately the specifications do not have detailed drawings included so the adaption of the engine rooms for this combination will have to wait until I have the parts in hand (may be a couple of weeks). That means that I am unable to add the engine room plating. So I will start the plating from the engine room bulkhead and move forward. Now that the operating voltage is fixed at 12v I will be able to select the right battery during this process.
And now for something completely different. I guess that when development of the CardCat X900 is over and the laser cutter arrives and allows me to make kits in polyester or pvc plate, then I will be asked to find another forum since they will not be in cardboard. Any suggestions ?
Cheers
Gerry
