After almost one year tinkering on my Efoil I finally have no break downs for the last 10h of ride… This is why I thought it’s time for sharing my -until now- working setup and thoughts.
My idea is to have a propulsion unit were all axial sealing get compressed to aluminum surfaces. Everything is assembled together by long screws in solid aluminum threads. At the beginning I had a lot of 3d printed parts which I gradually changed to aluminum because of water leaks.
Now I’m quite satisfied with it
Enjoy!
