RE: VX Hydro
Yes Paul, it is from RCMK, including the rear exhaust motor.
Tony, if Dave turns up at the lake tomorrow with the rest of the hardware I should have it
finished for next Sunday.

RE: VX Hydro
Hello...im not familiar with VX hulls. Can someone tell me a bit about them? Do they have a website? Love this one. Looks like a cross between a rigger and a hydro.
THANKS!
THANKS!

Did a couple of laps, brought the boat in for a check.
On restarting the motor sheared the flywheel locating key.
That put a stop to the day and unfortunately any video ( for now ).

RE: VX Hydro
Hi Andy
I was interested in a possible purchase of the RCMK rear exhaust motor but after
reading your mail I dont think I will bother,
( yours is now the 3rd that has sheared off the locateing key !! )).
One down here in plymouth ripped up the Rotor taper so bad it had to be replaced.
I'm begining to think the Key on these engine's cannot handle the torque from the starter
motor which is the cause of them keep breaking ?.
I think ile stick with my quickdraw rear ex motors.
