Default Shaft setup

Hey guys.

Just building my own boat, small pocketbike motor.

Just a few questions

How is the flexi cable connected to the motor?
Does the flexi cable go through the strut?

I have access to a lathe for the mounting to engine part etc.

Could you please post pictures etc to explain this?
If there are any other newbie mistakes I shouldn't risk could you please warn me =)

Cheers guys

This is what it should look like. The cable will solder/or braze to the brass fitting.

Make sure you don't over heat the cable though (common noob mistake) it is easiest to do it right with a soldering iron an some practice

Ok here is a question
I have an older Revenge enforcer boat that I got off ebay and there is no oiler on the shaft and it has the old aluminum fly wheel clutch set up.
How will this thing hold up with just greasing it after every run like I do to the super vee.
I use prather shaft grease
