circle boat crank

[H.B.delux]

:idea: Hay I am trying to build a circle boat for the first time and would like to know. How do you connect the crankshaft nose to the drive shaft?

Have a machinist mill a 1/4" keyway over the old keyways, (leave part of the old one for the timing chain gear. Go to a place like Glenwood Marine and buy a hub, (front drive), for a 1350 Spicer 4 bolt pattern. You will need a hardened 1/4 inch keyway also. Or go to Paul Phaff in Huntington Beach and have them do everything.

I always cut another keyway 180* from the existing one. And in doing so I can leave the 3/16ths factory one in place and cut another 3/16ths.....Dual 3/16ths, and there is less material removed from any one spot. When you order the drive hub be sure to specify internal or external balance.....MP

can you run the drive line off the balancer? or do you not use the balancer? any pix?
