Hi Kurt, well the electric motor is going to be treated with an electrical water proofing agent, I have a choice of 2 at the moment.
My starter has been upgraded a tad so more reliable I hope.
It always can be replaced with a brush less equivalent I suppose if it kacks out, we will see.

Hi Kurt & Sha
I still need to sort the Exhaust pipe, as I am very insistent that it exits the Transom and not sticking out the back like a phallic, unnatural, 45 deg appendage :o
Here is an Arial view of our lake I filmed with my quadcopter.
