JAE Testing Results

[HOTWATER]

Kent, for a wire drive to work, it's going to have to depend on how the motor is mounted and the bend in the stuffing tube. If there is a tight bend in the drive line or a S-Turn, the the wire drive won't work. I have Jeff's wire drive on my P-mono and love it. Less drag and it's plenty strong.

Hey Mike!

I know that when running a wire drive the stuffing tube has to be as straight as can be...a very small amount of bend is fine. If I go with it, I will just have to decide on another route into the framing member that is just behind the motor. As far as mounting the motor, there are many ways to do it sucessfully. I was actually going to use the wire in my Rigged Insanity which has been proven to work very well by the designer. I do not see a huge difference other than making it work with the ski.

I'm not sure at this point if I will go Wire or flex...I have just been thinking "why not go wire?"

All suggestions are welcomed...
