The Torqeedo 1003 gear does all of this already (except that its 7:1). Just ask Neugart if they can manufacture a similar run maybe with a 5:1 ratio.

I don’t know I’m afraid, but I don’t think it will handle as much power as the 1003 gear. The 1003 Gear is a similar size to the PLE40.

It actually looks like that particular base/adapter plate can be removed from the rest of the gearbox assembly completely via the four screws underneath.
If this is true then you would be left with the ‘neutral motor flange’ option which should be very similar to the one I am currently experimenting with. See picture below:
Did you end up getting it off?
If not, then perhaps you could try placing the rounded end (black anodised section) of the complete gearbox assembly inside the metal lathe chuck and turn down the square baseplate back to 60mm diameter that way…
Probably not optimal machining practices i know
