     A friend has one on his brand new Tartan 34, we've done a fair amount of motoring with it, works great, very happy with it. Jeff Sharkey MT 34 "RIPPLE" (on the hard in Port Charlotte trapped by a broken lock).

    Now that looks neat. Has anyone tried one of these for extended running time
    like a few days or so under continuous power.
    Looks to me like the entire thrust is transferred directly into the hull.
    That in turn should allow the engine to be rubber mounted for vibration
    dampening. Hmmm!
