Just for your information---RMbuilder/Bob Madara knows about drive torque loading issues and knows how to design a cam to either avoid it or decrease/minimize its effect on the drive.

I talked to Bob at Marine Kinetics today and got him started on the cam build. He was very knowlegable and helpful. I know I made the right decision. Thanks guys for the recommendation. It is really helpful to gain the instant knowlege base of hundreds of fellow boaters who have been there done that!
