The new drive which we call "Carbon 90 Drive" utilizes a Gates carbon fiber timing belt, precision adjustable idlers to transmit the increased power from the 40hp engine without any slippage and at an increased drive efficiency. Maintenance needs should be very infrequent as the propeller bearings are sealed and covered, the idlers are hard anodized aluminum with double row sealed bearings inside of another dust and water seal. No belt covers are required that restrict air flow or get in the way of maintenance. The carbon fiber element belt does not require any re-tensioning.
This kit contains everything you need to assemble the drive kit as well as instructions for the assembly, building a modified engine frame and propeller guard. The drawings for the engine stand and propeller guard that are in the Surveyor planset will not work with this engine.
