Konrad Drives
I too,saw the Konrad drives at the show and was very impressed. They seem to think that these drives can handle way bigger power than what is warrantied. Richard told me that even if you had more hp and torque he believes the drive can handle it. Also there are some heavy boats with a lot more torque running these drives without failure. Looks like a good option.
Some of the informatiion on the brochure:
They have ratios of 1.21:1, 1.33.:1, 1.51:1, 1.69:1
Operates in either rh or lh rotation--transmission reqd"
Full Immersion, seven quarts with external reservoir
For more information: Richard J. Evans--ENC (SW) Ret. USN Technical Engineer/Sales

There were references to the Hong Kong vessels earlier so I decided to post the details:
Damen Shipyards ( www.damen.nl) in the Netherlands manufactures the aluminum vessel attached. These vessels were specifically designed to intercept and disable vessels smuggling goods into mainland China.
The vessels have a reinforced bow which enables them to disable the outboards on the target vessel. The other requirements were to perform commercially at 40 kts in sea state 5 and 60 kts in sea state 3. This makes them quite heavy at 18-20,000 pounds.
The vessel was outfitted with Innovation 575 hp engines, Huber HM 1200 gears and Konrad 540 drives. The systems are required to run continuously.
What is the stern lock website?

Biggus - Good luck with the project. You're striking a blow for all the free-thinkers out there.
