I am plotting to add some interesting bits to my 46ft Sailboat.
Please share ideas on how to drive a 1.25" shaft with something on the order of 15-25kw of power. Final drive rpm should end up around 1400-1800-. (The diesel is designed to run at around 2800rpm with a 2:1 final drive, so only 1400 for that guy.)
In particular, I''m researching solutions for connecting the Motenergy ME-1616 to the propeller shaft of the boat.
Thunderstruck has a solution that looks to be a timing belt based option:

I will probably make up something custom to fit the space. So for now, just trying to figure out what might work with that much power transfer.
Thanks!
