    Hi all – Good news, got her running yesterday!!! And like a champ!! After a few mins warm up idled PERFECT and sounded real smooth. Im not very familiar with these, how does the water circulate? I ran it out of the water but for like 20s max..

    Will a barrel suffice or does it need prop thrust to push water somewhere? And shd the cluster of round grate holes in the middle also be submerged?

    My cordless 18v lithium drill worked fine on the little 2hp but I think it was enough "beef" for the 5hp. Pulling it worked, however i still could not see a spark – but it ran gr8!

    Thanks all for the suggestions – Ive made a little youtube video with some tips to setup the coils ill upload soon (after editing). Cant wait to run this guy on the water ow (just need a little boat now lol)..
