[hpv-boats] V11J Shaft

[bruceplazyk at fauxfishtechnologies.com]

Hi Rick,

Congratulations on a successful completion of the Murray Marathon and a great fund raising event for a worthy cause. That's a fine looking boat you have built but I can't wait to see the next one. Your report on the race was excellent, keep up the good work.

re Rick,

A very cool looking setup.

Is the shaft simply a flexible rod, or is it a cable of some sort?

Thank you,

Mark A. Vermilion

Shaft is 8mm thick spring steel.  In the configuration shown it is expected to
achieve infinite fatigue life. I paint it to reduce corrosion.  There are some
high strength stainless steels available but I have
 not been able to readily
procure them in the size I need.
