    Hi guys,

    I have my boat ready to go with custom home made Surface drives. My problem is I need something like thrust bearing on the aquadrive. I cant find anything reasonably priced. Aquadrive and Python Drive are very expensive. Found thrust bearings but no housing to put them in. I would have to machine something. Anyway I see a lot of money. Anyway found a way around this. thanks

    Try to contact Flexitab (www.flexitab.com) who manufactures some transom installed thrust bearings for fixed (not trimmable) surface drives.
