what type of gear is inside?
All info is in the description
Are the CAD models available for this design?
Also, what sun gear did you use with the Torqeedo 1003 gearbox?
It is the sun gear from Torqueedo, pretty hard to find. Cheers
If someone intersted in the torqeedo gearbox and sun gear I can sell them aside.
This is taking dust so price drop
Torqueedo gearbox, 2 sun gear 150usd
SSS 56104 100usd
SSS 5694 with 8am lead 100usd
Can give spacer to connect it all
Only been bench tested

I’m interested. I want to make something up for my takacat dinghy. Gimme a shout.
Still have this available? Thx
Yes it is still available Thanks
Thx. I am working on a 15 Hp outboard engine conversion. On 4th generation now. Maytech 65162 motor did not have quite enough power. Do you think this geared setup is similar or perhaps higher in power? I see rating for the 1000kv motor you have is rated about 12kw peak, which is great if real. I am typically running 14S. Have 300A Maytech esc. Is your motor waterproof or does the housing keep it dry? Thanks again. Steve
Cool project. It should be way more powerful than the 65162. This gearbox has been used in some build with smaller SSS motor and they already had more torque than the 65162.
The housing is waterproof, I was going to fill it with mineral oil as other brands do. The only uncertainty is how long it will last as it is spinning quite fast.
What rpm is the gearbox rated for? What prop were you designing this for? Also, what is the outside diameter of the housing tube? Want to see if it will fit into my outboard lower unit. Sounds promising. Estimate of cost to ship to California?
Not sure of rating, it is the Torqueedo gearbox. It spin way slower on the Torqueedo. OD 65mm with housing. Let’s follow up by private message please

Finally getting back to my outboard project. Parts still available? Thanks, Steve
Cool you getting back into it. Yes they are
Hi Manufoil, I would like to move forward with this.
- Is the motor system ready to use once assembled in the can?
- Any further machining or parts needed?
- How waterproof do you expect this to be?
Can you determine shipping cost to Piedmont, CA, USA. 94611?
Thanks, Steve
Hi Steve,
There is no extra machining needed. I would probably just fill it with mineral oil to help with cooling. I have tested it down to 1.5m in the pool. Bear in mind it is really experimental, it is a really fast spinning motor with a reducer. I’m not sure how well it will cope used as a boat motor with heavy use. The intent was short speed run for speed record.
Cheers

Thanks Tibo. I’m willing to give it a try. Probably best for me to take your whole package with both motors to experiment. I would like eventually to also build an e-foil board and could use it there instead of in the outboard. Please let me know what total cost including shipping will be to California, approx. shipping time, and how you would want payment.
Cheers, Steve
Hi WollySF, I would love to connect with you about your project, just getting started on a 18’ aluminum boat conversion using probably two flipsky thrusters or similar. Sounds like you have the most experience of anyone with this type of setup!
Still would like to purchase.
